ADMIN ISTRATIO HAROLD S. KONVOLINKA Superintendent The eminence that Duquesne High had achieved and maintained in fields, scholastic, athletic. and extra-curricular is based primarily on the close, wholehearted cooperation of ad- ministration, faculty, and student cooperation, Xvithout the supervision and perseverance of Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Henry, Mr. Kowallis, the Board of Education, and aided by three com- petent secretaries, the school system would cease to exist. The administration's work embraces the end- less chain of detail which is removed and un- noticed hy the casual visitor at Duquesne Schools. However, one more evident act, the School Board approved, was the new insurance plan designated for the safety of the students. With the help of the Administration, every single factor necessary for the development of well-rounded citizens is present. No feature of school life is omitted that will help to form good American characters that will be a credit to their country, First Row, l. to r.-Mr. Falvo, Mr. Staisey, Miss Kenney.

RAY Y. HENRY Principal After I6 years of distinguished service to Du- quesne High School, as superintendent, Mr. Gillespie resigned. His devotion and earnest- ness will never be forgotten by the faculty, alumni, and many others who came in contact with him. Dr. Harold S. Konvolinka succeeded him. For the past 16 years, Mr. Henry, principal of Duquesne High School, has endeared him- self to every pupil in Duquesne High because of his willingness to consider their problems and lend a helping hand. Mr. Kowallis, assis- tant principal since 1953, has lightened Mr. Henry's load of responsibilities. The four efficient secretaries had brightened our school with their smiling faces and their readiness to help everyone. When walking into their offices, the secretaries were always doing some kind of a job, whether large or small. By working together, the supervisors and their assistants were always on their feet trying to make Duquesne High School a greater place for learning. WILLIAM S. KOWALLIS Vice Principal Secretaries, l. to r.-Mrs. Lemak, Miss Harvey, Miss Hrebenach Miss Kenney. nmng to end, they helped us in countless ways . .
