ur Principal W 175 Ak CLARENCE A. BARTEE A,B, Central College, Fayette, Missouri M,A, University of Missouri Algebra, Geometry Health, Coach Mr. Bartee is relieved of many routine duties Student Council Adviser throughout the day by student helpers. Pictured are Daryl Junior Co-Sponsor Hayes and Beverly Hayes. The routine day of anoffice attendant is one in which responsibility and alertness are needed. An office attendant assumes the respon- sibility of making a complete record of all the names of students absent during the day. Answering the phone and taking messages requires tact or diplomacy, which is also needed while making visitors welcome dur- ing the school hours. Many ofthe attendants lend Mr. Bartee a helping hand whenever his duties call him away from the office, by distributing mail to the various teachers of both grade and high school. Occasionally they will be called upon to help check examination papers. It can be said of this group that their assistance is indeed a great help. Though their duties may seem few to some, those who are in charge of the office, feel that theirs are numerous and varied.

Mr. Graves and Mr. Calvert are discussing ways of improving the school. Bucklin R II, Class A Following the visit of Mr. Chester Calvert, state supervisor of schools, Mr. Graves received a letter from the state department of education which stated that the Bucklin RII school was approved as a class A school. Schools are approved or unapproved ac- cording to whether they meet specifications in regard to administrators, teachers, li- brary, and a number of other details. Classification as U, App, A, AA, or AAA is a complex procedure. To some extent it is influenced by the size of the school, the enrollment, the time given to principals and superintendent for supervisory duties, and Three of this year's faculty have their Master's degree, and all of the others ex- cept one, have their B. S. or A. B. degree. That one lacks only one-tenth of an hour. Several have done additional work beyond that required for their degree. Thirty-four and one-half high school units were approved for the 1957-58 year which is -an increase of six units since 1955-56. Seventeen units are required for grad- uation. Of those, three must be social science, three language arts, one mathe- matics, one science, one practical arts,one fine arts, and one physical education. number of units approved.
