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 .

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.

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.

L. Clark O. Lehman M. McFadden B. Zweig G. Barbour One of the largest departments of our school is the History department. All of us have come in contact with it through one or more of the interesting, informative subjects offered in that field. Recently a new rule was inaugur- ated at Heights which makes a minor in His- tory a requisite for graduation. Ancient, Me- dieval, and Modern History have been combined into a two-semester World History course, which with American History is required of all students. Two other history courses are offered, Social Problems and Economics. Many members of this faculty devote much time and effort to school projects outside the classroom. Mr. Nash is the head of the de- partment. Mr. Fast continues his interest in STORY I. Fast L. Donaldson P. Nash L. Behney E. Prince A. Engel W.
