Dean, secretaries aid in solving problems Dean Ralph H. Vance, important in the daily life of High Point Central, had a very busy year. The dean of students was respon¬ sible for the handling of check-outs and tardies, and for keeping records of student attendance. His work as a disciplinary offi¬ cial emphasized responsible student citizen¬ ship. In addition, he served as summer school director. Mrs. Lee Hocutt was his able office assistant. In the flow of school activity, two people stood out among the rest — Mrs. Johnsie Jackson, secretary and co-treasurer of the school, and Mrs. Doris Teague, secretary to the principal. Mrs. Jackson, in addition to money matters, took care of the telephone, and sorted the mail. Mrs. Teague handled correspondence, filed records, processed blue sheets, and prepared college transcripts for seniors. Dean Ralph Vance checks the attendance bulletin with secretary Mrs. Hocutt and student Mary Bean.
