Serving as head of the adminis- tration department of the high school is Leo W.Anderson, who has held the position of principal since 1947. His friendly cooperative at- titude has made him well liked among students at Central. The major achievement of the year was Mr. Anderson's coopera- tive effort with the Superintendent in the arrangement for the ex- panded physical education program and in the operation of the new gymnasium-auditorium. Coordination of the high school curriculum and student activities in the year were made possible through Mr. Anderson's high school staff meetings and frequent conta cts with the student council. Make-up slips, permits to leave the building, tardy slips, and detention are among the reasons nearly every stu- dent has, at some time or another in their high school career, entered Miss Splittstoesser's office . P-C KB The beginning of the school year found Miss M, E. Splittstoesser, just returned from a summer long Euro- pean tour, at her usual desk in the room labeled As- sistant Principal's office, enjoying her job. The task of signing make up slips, tardy slips, giving advice in sen- ior interviews, listening to the woes and excuses of be- wildered newcomers and perpetual latecomers, is per- formed by Miss Splittstoesser with the efficient and un- derstanding manner that makes her known to all Cen- tralites. Along with this, is the major assistance and cooperation given to Mr. Anderson in the operation of the daily class and activity program. SCVCII
