Secretaries, Administrator Mrs. Radoye makes change for Ray Hipsher, as Bob Palladino makes sure the amount is right. Above: Mrs. Ballard goes through the attendance lists while Mrs. Weston prepares to type a stencil. Right: Mrs. Allen, who handles all the money, takes a brief rest from the budget. Clarkston Senior High School has four office secretaries, Mrs. Corienne Ballard, Mrs. Dottie Allen, Mrs. Gwinevere Weston and Mrs. Mary Ann Radoye. Each secretary has an individual job, but in a rush hour they work as a team. The attendance secretary is Mrs. Ballaad. Mrs. Allen is in charge of the money that goes through the office. Mrs. Weston who is responsible for Mr. Mason’s and the school’s correspondence, makes out purchase orders for the new books and supplies along with editing the yearbook. Mrs. Radoye is the receptionist. She works at the counter, does the general typing and all the typing for the new scheduling. Without the aid of our office secretaries, Clarkston High would not be able to run very efficiently. The governing body of any public school system is the Board of Education, which is comprised, by state law, of seven members. These officials are elected by popular vote for a term of four years. No more than two can be elected in any one year. They in turn hire a superintendent, Dr. Leslie F. Greene, and two assistants, Mr. Floyd Vincent and Mr. George Barrie. These men meet at least once a month to try to solve the problems and settle the business which occurs with running a school system of 5,800 pupils. Some of the many jobs they have are to educate the students, hire teachers and other personnel to staff the buildings, provide bus transportation for two-thirds of the students and provide a hot lunch program for the entire system. Because of Clarkston’s geographical location, the last ten years have put a tremendous strain on the schools. With the intense population growth the board and administrators have had to do a lot of expanding and planning.

Mr. Mauti is Assistant Principal, as well as Head of the Physical Education Department, and Athletic Director. A capable Assistant Principal, he deals with many students individually. He is in charge of setting up the Driver Training Program, which enrolls over three hundred students each year. He hires officials for athletic events and handles all obligations to do with football, basketball, track, cross-country, baseball, skiing and wrestling. The coveted Dorn. Mauti award was started by the Clarkston Area Jaycees in 1964 at the close of Mr. Mauti’s term as a basketball coach. This award is received at the close of the basketball season, by the outstanding senior athlete. In September Mr. William Dennis was promoted to the job of Assistant Principal. This is an authoritative job which often goes by unappreciated. He has worked for twelve years in the Clarkston school system. Along with the heavy responsibilities he faces in this capacity, he is the director of adult education classes, chairman of the industrial arts department and a sponsor of the senior class. Mr. Dennis has an important job, and finds it difficult to please everyone. Never the less, he is always ready to listen sympathetically to the problems of the students. One of the various jobs of the Assistant Principals, Mr. Dennis and Mr. Mauti, is to keep order in the halls. Another of Mr. Dennis’ duties is senior class sponsor. Here he talks to point secretary, Anne Lausten. Mr. Mauti, who is also Athletic Director, makes plans for the basketball tournaments, while Mr. Dennis, (background) makes an important telephone call. 15
