Perhaps your have come in contact with Mr. John Warren, Vice Principal, who is in charge of all matters involving disipline. Actually, his fob is not an easy one, for he must see that each student is treated fairly and squarely. If you have ever seen Mr. A.H. Shiney, Director of Activities, for more than a minute at a time, consider yourself lucky. He works hand-in-hand with the Student Council, and is constantly on the go to see that things are working out smoothly. The girls at DSHS are especially indebted to Mrs. Karyn Sanders, Dean of Girls, Registrar, and Advisor to Girls' League. She helps them plan the many activities and programs which add to the pleasure of school life. Aiding in the administration office are Mrs. Ann Rogers, secretary to the principal, and Mrs. Grace Lane, book keeper for the student body funds. Mr. A.H.
