Teachers Named To New Administrative Posts Mr. Loren King, Activities Director StudentCounsellors Mrs. Thora Watson and Mr. Karl Schmidt leave their joint offices after an afternoon of their usual overtime work. Mr. Bill Vlcek, Athletics Director A director was appointed this year to head the athletics and activities departments. Mr. Loren King took over the task of scheduling meetings, assemblies, dances, and other functions associated with the school. The duties of the new athletic director, Mr. Bill Vlcek, include endorsing the scheduling of those events under his jurisdiction to the satisfaction of his superiors and the coaches. Because the athletic program receives a great deal of community interest, he must also be certain that the athletes maintain satisfactory academic and conduct records. Counselling Program Assists Students In addition to their regular classes, Mrs. Thora Watson and Mr. Karl Schmidt conduct a full-scale program of student counselling. Each student is assisted in scheduling his classes so that he may prepare himself most fully for his chosen vocation. The counsellorscarefully scrutinize the results of achievement tests taken by students, and attend several meetings each year in order to gain pertinent information concerning college requirements, the armed services, and other occupations for high school graduates. This information is promptly relayed to the students. Volumes of material on colleges and student ratings are also received and sorted by them. Each student is free to discuss personal as well as occupational subjects with our counsellors.

Many problems involving our student body are discussed at the regular school board meetings, held in the new district offices. Board Important Links The interested, education-minded citizens who serve for five-year terms on the school board are a link between community and school. During its frequent sessions, the board settles issues on school policies, checks on requisitions, and works out the budget. The members not only donate many hours of their time, but they are deeply concerned with all the facets of our education. Any proposed changes, no matter how inconsequential or preposterous, must first pass their scrutiny. Their friendly attitude is apparent in their sanction of new beneficial programs and activities.
