While we The sTudenTs bask in The sunshine, The adminisTraTive, guidance, and cusTodial sTaTTs are preparing Tor The reTurn oT The huge mass oT pupils in The Tall. Think of all The complicaTions involved in The preparaTion oT The masTer schedule! Many sTudenTs. Teachers, and subiecTs have To be crowded inTo a Tew shorT hours. As early as The previous February. work is being sTarTed on The Tollowing Tall's schedule by The adminisTraTive and guidance deparTmenTs. This parTicular iob conTinues Through The summer monThs unTil The week before school reopens. OTTen iT is a Tedious Task wiTh someTimes impossible challenges and yeT Tremendous saTisTacTion when all The cogs in The wheel Tinally TiT inTo Their grooves. Every eTTorT is made To give each sTudenT The choice oT subiecTs which he requesTed several weeks previous To The closing oT school. The guid- ance counselors also re-arrange programs oT sTudenTs who Tail in June and also Those who gain crediT in summer school. In addiTion To scheduling, oTher Tasks are Tackled. We mighT be surprised To Tind The guidance counselors and adminisTaTors in such inTormal cloThes as khakis, sporT shirTs and sun dresses buT comTorT and inTormaliTy reign while They compleTe sTudenTs' permanenT records, prepare blanks, cards, and Torms To be Tilled ouT on The TirsT day by us sTudenTs7 hold conTerences wiTh parenTs and sTudenTs when- ever necessary. During These monThs, The school calendar is seT up by Mr. O'Brien. This calendar includes all TuncTions in The school wheTher sponsored by The school or some communiTy organizaTion. lmagine how quieT and lifeless The halls and classrooms are, iusT waiTing Tor The boisTerous sounds of auTumn and The arrival oT acTiviTy. The sharp odor oT wax is very apparenT, driTTing Through each and every window, mingling wiTh The smell oT painT. Much Time-consuming work is required of The cusTodial sTaTT. The buckeT brigade cleans every room. Turning elecTricians, The cusTodians also repair lighT TixTures and replace bulbs. To insure The saTeTy of all, wiring and saTeTy devices are TesTed and swiTches on machines are replaced. All The wear and Tear placed on school TurniTure and equipmenT musT be repaired and re- placed. ln The audiTorium seaTs are TighTened. The kiTchen. Too, musT be checked. The sTeam boilers and The plumbing are examined so The caTeTeria women can successTully prepare meals in The Tall. While The scheduling is done and The re- vamping Takes place, Teachers reTurn a week earlier Than sTudenTs Tor Their orienTaTion week-learning abouT new school regulaTions, opening day proce- dure, The schedule, class rosTers, and co-curricular assignmenTs. They devoTe Two days To workshops wiTh The 794 Teachers in The disTricT concenTraTing on Their parTicular Teaching Tields. ATTer lisTening To an inspiraTional Talk by Dean Virgil M.
