Wallace Miss Marian L. Whitsey Miss Helen K. Wallace, the amiable Dean ot Girls has been at Heights longer than any other faculty member. She supervises the manners, behavior, and dress of Heights girls. With the aid of the Girls Cabinet of which she is the ad- visor, Miss Wallace investigates absence and tardiness. Our Dean acts also as a supervisor of all social functions, she trains the seniors for commencement and helps them with the plans for the annual senior prom. Few stu- dents realize the extent of educational and vo- cational guidance they receive here at school. Miss Marian L. Whitsey, Educational Counsel- or, and Mr. Roy M. Flint, Assistant Principal, help students make many important decisions concerning their future, whether it be college or a career. Boys and girls contemplating Mr. Roy M. Flint college would be lost without Miss Whitsey, who keeps them informed on college require- ments, scholarships, college board exams, and everything connected with college. She ar- ranges the more than seventy-five conferences held annually with representatives of various colleges and is also in charge of sending stu- dent transcripts. Her fine work as educational counselor is known throughout the country and her opinion is respected by all admission au- thorities. Mr. Flint really has many positions, for he is an assistant principal, the Dean of Boys, and also vocational counselor. As Dean of Boys, he has charge of discipline and helps boys with personal problems. As vocational guidance counselor, he arranges the annual spring vocational conferences with authorities in many fields .

ADMINISTRATION AND GUIDANCE x lf f I Mr. Frank L. Wiley Under the capable hands of Mr. Wiley the edu- cational policies of our school system are ad- ministered. When expansion was necessary at Heights, he was the one who brought the ques- tion before the Board of Education and the people. His able assistant, Mr. Harvey, inter- views prospective teachers and approves re- quests made every year by the schools for new equipment or for replacements. It is the duty of the Board of Education to provide and main- tain the school system and approve the courses of study for all the various schools. The 1949 election saw Mr. Urnbach and Mrs. Davis add- ed to the Board and Mr. Osborne re-elected. Mr. Belkin was chosen president for the year 1950. Closer to home and more familiar to all Mr. Albert B. Harvey of us is our Principal, Mr. E. E. Morley, who sees to the harmonious operation of our school. He approves and establishes our school policies. It appears that the muse has lent her talents to our principal for he is very apt at writing poetry as a hobby. Recently he proved to the school his ability as an actor. The handyman, as he might well be called, is Mr. Perkins. He schedules classes, supervises corridor guards, and arranges the daily P. A. announcements. Finding people who are parked illegally, taking care of broken lockers. giving gentle discipline to students and many other picky matters are part of his daily routing.

G. Kaufman H.Grugle E.McA1lister E. Day , V. Thelian M.Siegman C.Kril1 OFFICE Multiply six and one -quarter by about eighteen hundred. The product equals the approximate number of school hours spent at Heights High in one day. Try to imagine the tremendous task of regulating this time for each Heights student. This job is left to the unsung heroes of our school, the office staff, The office, centrally located in the building, is truly the center around which the whole school revolves. Probably the largest job the office secretaries have is that of making out programs for each student at the beginning of every semester. While this is only done once a semester, numerous other things come up every day that the staff takes care of. One daily job is mak- ing out the all-important absence bulletin. Aside from their regular duties the office per- forms many services that we take for granted Delivering telephone messages to students, mimeographing papers, filling out transcripts for students entering college, are only a few .of the tasks that keep the office busy. In addition to the services that Heights stu- dents have always received from their library, additional benefits are now offered through the use of the new Memorial Reading lloom of World War II. This past year a room which was formerly 329 has been annexed to the library to give new services and privileges to Heights students. Through contributions of various clubs, books and furniture. will be purchased. This room, when completed, will be furnished in a comfortable, recreational style, not resembling the ordinary library. The books in it will be out of the ordinary too. Vocational guidance, books on strengthening of interracial and intercultural relations, plus fine editions of the old classics, will be the only ones found in the room. The fund for these books was started by the American junior Red Cross. This room and the books in it will stand as a living memorial to the graduates of our school who saw service in the last war .
