The success of any establishment relies heavily on its administration. Mr. Charles N. Clark, Principal, has most certainly succeeded in the efficient operation of the school, the co-ordination of its activities, the achievement of favorable relationships between the faculty and the student body, and the admirable representation of East High School in the community. 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. MR. CHARLES N. CLARK Principal Leading the Masses Working in close collaboration with Mr. Clark, Vice-Principal Mr. Fred R. Mye is invaluable as an administrator of High School. His duties are many varied, including “filling in” on adminis- trative details, scheduling final exams, conducting fire inspections, and registering East High School’s young men for the selective service. However, Mr. Myers is more than just a busy administrator. He is also a friend, supporter, and patron of all the students at East High. The Vice-Prin- cipal is regarded with high esteem by the student body and the guidance he has offered will long be remembered and appreciated. MR. FRED R. MYERS Vice-Principal 22

Often when a student receives a message from his dean, his first thought is that he has done something wrong. However, the job of a dean is not merely to discipline students, but rather to help them. Prob- lems of adjustment to school life, along with personal difficulties, can easily be discussed with a dean and helpful advice can be obtained. Deans are the important link between students and faculty on any issue involving both of these groups. They realize the importance of having students’ opinions carried to the administration. This understanding has made their posi- tion vital to the successful operation of school poli at East High. DEANS—Miss Carnahan, Mr. Lambert, Mrs. Parthoens, Mr. Youngman. Lending A Helping Hand Upon entering East High School, stu- dents are given assistance in planning their curriculum. This assistance continues throughout the high school years. As the student prepares for graduation, he is giv- en valuable advice and suggestions about colleges and vocations. The counselors ar- range schedules to fit the needs of the indi- vidual student and complete school record forms for colleges. Though counselors are kept busy at these tasks, they always have time to talk over curriculum problems with students who request help. They also inform students of competitive examina- tions which may interest them and later notify students of their results in these examinations. By taking a personal interest in the students who are assigned to them, the counselors help plan an education which will best suit the individual. COUNSELORS—Back row: Mr. Low, Mr. Stanton, Mr. Tacci, Mr. McGuire. Front row: Mr. Roller, Mr. Peet, Mrs. Davis. 24
