Physically some are short or tall, chunky or skinny. Backgrounds are different. Farmers as well as city dwellers come to the same school. Likes and dislikes vary. Though hard to please all, the best interest of ev- eryone is the people, whether students, teachers, or administration. The variety of people makes each day new. Different ideas make many choices for everyone. The people are the most im- portant part of all decisions and actions. All different, we still have something in common: coming to the same school. The people will be what we remember most. 54 People Division

Deans enforced rules A day with a dean was just the opposite of what a reporter had expected. For example, during first hour, students came in and had Mr. Kenneth Ross, dean of boys, to sign their passes so they could get back into class or so they could leave school early for special appointments. During the rest of the morning, he looked at excuses from the preceding day and checked whether they were excused. He checked the sign-out sheet in the main office to see if it agreed with the health office and his records. He held confer- ences with students concerning tardiness, attendance, skipped classes, detentions, and misbehavior. Third hour, Mr. Ross was found teach- Counselors: Mr. James Landis.

At lunch Mr. Ross sat with students and kept others from cutting lunch lines. During the afternoon, he checked the attendance cards to see how many days each boy had missed. If anyone has missed nearly 10 days, he sent a letter to their parents that explained how many days the students could miss before they were sub- ject to the loss of their credits. When it was necessary, Mr. Ross stayed after school and held conferences with stu- dents and parents. A day in the life of Dean of Girls Mrs. Jody Gibson would be similar, except Mrs. Gibson also takes care of all the atten- dance records, both boys and girls. Mr. Ross also has a speciality. He helped to direct traffic and to prevent unnecessary accidents. :.....:.30-| Falls sports a ward for Most Valua ble Player in tennis is presented to Biff Wilson by Athletic Director .Mr. John Carbone at the annual sports banquet.
