Have you ever given thought to the people who plan the intricate routine of Schurz? Outwardly, the mechanism of a school would seem to be simple, but investigation shows that it is no easy task to guide the destinies of over six thousand lives. Under the sloping roof of Schurz, six thousand nine hundred students work and play. It requires a firm hand with a gentle touch to transform them from the children who enter Schurz into the young men and women who are graduated. This task is performed by men and Women known as administrative assistants. They outline the program for the semester, working long and hard to satisfy the greatest number of students. They also arrange for the splendid assemblies which take place upon the Schurz stage, and approve or suggest changes for student entertainments. HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS SEATED: Miss English, Miss Lally, Miss Krenz, Miss Berquist, Miss Shanewise, Mrs. Pierce, Mr. johnson, Miss Blade. STAND- ING: Mr, Craig, Mr. Huntley, Mr. Clutterbuck, Mr. McAfee, Mr, R. Miller, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Lake- macher, Sergeant Nance. Page Fifteen ADI USTMEN T DEPARTMENT- The gap between the grades and high school is a Wide one into which many grammar school graduates of the past have fallen. Unable to accustom themselves to the great change in procedure, they did not become successful high school students. Then, too, many who did manage to cross the breach failed later because they could not keep up with a more and more demanding course of study. Others, intelligent students perhaps, had not perhaps as yet acquired the right attitude toward school work. Still others had mental quirks that had come about because of home problems and were unhappy because their teachers did not understand their peculiar situation. A remedy had to be found, one which would satisfy both teacher and student. So the Adjustment Department sprang into being. The first duty of this division is to orientate fresh- men, to help them adjust themselves to high school life. No longer are grammar school gradu- ates pitched without assistance directly into high school. They are guided along the path until they are safely adjusted high school students. So, too, any student with a problem all his own is welcome. Understanding experts give their advice and cooperate with the teachers to make the welfare of the pupil the primary consideration.
