.Administration The three paramount functions of a faculty are teaching, research, and public service-these three. But the greatest of these is teaching. -Hamilton Holt. Aquarrel, a war, a misunderstanding Mightn't have happened had the truth X been known. Learning the facts, though it's quite demanding, Pays in the end, so has been shown. -Robin Fraser. Ueachers .Are the Quardians of Education I Education .95 the 'Basis of Democracy. . Learning is so very important that it cannot be stressed enough. But the following pages and your own thinking should take care of that. Of prime importance are the administration and faculty which are theguardians of education. In our government, we have congress and the house of representatives who make the laws and to enforce them we have an elected, qualified president. And so it is much the same in our school. To make our system of education run smoothly we have a superintendent to oversee everything, with a staff of principals under him and a faculty under each principal. This makes the system a united whole all working to make for the most efficiency, much as our government system works. For the benefit of the people there is a governments-for the benefit of the learners there are the teachers and the idrninistrators. -EJ' n-5, Page Seven

D on Beatty Secretary ,,,....,,..,,...,,,,. ...,.. C herie Brodsack Two students from each second period class compose the Room Representatives. These representatives meet with school administrators to discuss items of student interest and to give their ideas and opinions on the matters being discussed. This year Room Representatives were influential in the adopting of the activity ticket. Representatives are always willing to give time and help for something that benefits the school. A true demo- cratic spirit is displayed in this organization, as students have a voice in the handling of school affairs. Mr. lesse G. Ragsdale is adviser of the organization. This brings faculty and student relationships even closer, making school an important milestone in the lives of the present-day students and the future tax-payers of the world. OFFICE SECRETARY Could l see Mr. Ragsdale? This question is heard many times a day by office secretary Mrs. Lynn Brown. Keeping school records, sending transcripts and taking care of all school business are just a few of the duties Mrs. Brown does so efficiently and cheerfully. She is also super- visor of OD, a group of highschool girls that performs of- fice duties in regular class periods. Mrs. Brown has been office secretary since l947 and is always ready to help with any and all problems that may be presented. You will find her pleasant and helpful any time you stop in the office.
