fly W V l K Student leaders like to lead, but their self- confidence can use a boost now and then, as problems grow and projects appear ready to collapse. That's where the friendly advice of Mr. Pitts, Mr. Ball, and Mrs. Risley come to the rescue. But don't underrate these high schoolers, earnestly declare the deans. ffl HELLO! Friendly s iles light up the faces of Vice Prin- cipal Wayne Pitts, Boys' Adviser William A. Ball, and For Us, Help When Needed ALERT to the latest news are these secretaries! From left are Alice Hart, guidance, Eleanor Parks, vice prin- cipal's office, Kitty Sheen, principal's office, Betty Pretzer, receptionist. Bobcats have learned to depend on such guidance. Theirs is the fair judgment when a student has transgressed, theirs the word of encouragement when students see failure and disappointment ahead. Such friends are price- less to us. Often their sound advice will carry over for a full lifetime of worthy achievement. Mrs. Lucille Risley, dean of girls. Students crowd their offices at all hours seeking answers to problems. pf? 5 ,, ..c.k..3f.E.kfj,es, Y. i t 2

They Aim High Thinking big is a requisite, these days, to serving on the Board of Education. So huge are the problems in an expanding school dis- trict such as ours that today's actualities make yesterday's unrealistic predictions seem in- deed tame. Tomorrow's problems are now here! Plans for a long-term expansion program calling for multi-million dollar bond issues have given the board more than their share of worries. But their experience, foresight, and wisdom give assurance that Phoenix Union High Schools will maintain their place near the top in America's great educational fields. Often expressed is the board's hope that public interest in the schools will grow, along with the problems of expansion. Only when the citizens of the community take active part can the schools do their best for all concerned. Supt. Bruce K. Moore BOARD OF EDUCATION members include ttopl Dr. ibottom, from Ieftl the Rev. William Bostrom, Elmo G Trevor G. Browne, Frank Haze Burch, Mrs. F. A. Bonsj Gerber, and Dr. Charles Purtymun, Jr., l954 -59

PONDERING a discipline prob, lem are Guidance Board mem- bers Tim Tuveson, Florence Howard, Bob Smelick, Board Adviser William Ball, Ann Kova- covich, and Gus Blanchard. 37 Fair Play Their Waichword Chosen by their fellow students on the basis of citizenship, intelligence, and personality, members of the Guidance Board deal out jus- tice with mercy to erring Bobcats who come afoul of the Merit System. Most importantly, the board insists on hearing all sides of the student's problem before making a decision. SERVICE with smiles is typical at the Bookstore. Students get prompt attention from Zena Tornincasa, Norma This judicial part of our student government not only hands out demerits but also rescinds them when fair play dictates. But the quality of mercy must be kept strong with stern real- ity, too, our self-government system depends on enforcement. Our Guidance leaders are respected for their skill in a very difficult job.
