Tie administration of East High School encompasses a diverse group of dedicated people working to meet the many demands of a large student body seeking knowledge and responsibility. There are those individuals who guide students, offering them help in choosing interesting courses or in planning a future career. There are teachers who enable students to recognize their potential and, in so doing, inspire them to attain their various goals. There are others who offer encouragement and friendship when problems seem too immense for students to solve alone. There are those who make the hours at East High pass comfortably by diligently performing their daily tasks. Among this list of administrators are those who also deyote their own time to many extra-curricular events and to new and interesting courses. Education takes on a broader meaning when the administration and faculty attempt to understand their students. It becomes a two-way process where both students and administrators learn. A course takes on added meaning when a teacher regards himself not merely as an instructor but as an interested participant in the learning process. Administrators at East High School realize the importance of such a relationship between themselves and students. Under such conditions the barriers of teacher-student communications can be broken down and the concept of learning fully understood and appreciated. 20

It is a monumental task to help students attain the best possible education; but, in addi- tion, Mr. Clark takes a personal interest in the students. Despite his heavy schedule, Mr, Clark is always eager to listen to the ideas and plans of all individuals and will freely give suggestions if his advice is requested, His interest in the students as individuals has been a source of inspira- tion; his leadership is greatly appreciated by everyone.
