Dean, Counselors comprise nucleus of aid 1 Central ' s Attendance Office team, Mr. Vance and Mrs. Hocutt, ponder over a student ' s record. Understanding and helpful would be suitable words to describe Mr. Ralph H. Vance, dean of Central High. Although his main duty was to issue a bulletin of absencies, tardies, and check outs each day, many students sought him for some additional help or se rvice. His assistant in the dean ' s office was Mrs. Lee Hocutt. Mrs. Janet McCurry and Mrs. Evelyn Harris, full-time counselors at CHS, reviewed the re¬ cords and credits of students and called per¬ sonal interviews. Students frequently sought the aid of counselors for advice ranging from personal problems to college decisions. As guidance directors, Mrs. McCurry and Mrs. Harris worked with the administration, faculty, students, and parents to provide information and counseling services for all students. Mrs. Teague takes time out from her duties as Business Secretary for a quick snapshot. One of the most important persons at school is Mrs. Jackson. With a smile and a cheerful word, she is always ready to help everyone. 20
