R U T H F I T C H COLE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 7 N assistant principulship is a much more important position than we sometimes realize. The person who (ills an office of this kind must have a great deal of patience, pcrscvcrcnce, efficiency, and understanding. In our assistant principal, Miss Cole, we have a person with such qualities. She has so well taken the responsibilities that have been hers that she has ever held the respect and high esteem of Edison students and faculty members. Among Miss Cole’s various duties are several of which we arc often unaware. She aids generally in the regulation of the school, checks absentees, and plans each semester a satisfactory program for each student. Miss Cole has always been an interested, real friend and counselor to the students, and we appreciate the efforts she has made to improve, aid, and benefit our school. The informal picture of Miss Cole given above is one not unfamiliar to Edison students, all of whom have come into contact with her at some time. It is a pleasant reminder of the genial atmosphere of her office. cm

ERMA E. TODD VISITING TEACHER TJ’DISON students arc very appreciative of the fact that they have a department in the school which is dedicated to the personal problems of the students. Pupils who have difficulties of various natures in school or who have personal problems which require correction find a ready and able counselor in our visiting teacher. Miss Todd. She tries, by seeking the basic cause of a student's difficulty to plan a solution which will adequately aid the student in his problem. The pleasant atmosphere of Miss Todd's office, her pleasing personality, her interest and understanding assure one that there is willing aid to be given if one will but present his problem. Appropriations by the Student Council maintain the philanthropic aspects of this work. In addition to her work at Edison, Miss Todd makes visits for the Boys' Vocational, Girls’ Vocational, Pillsbury, Prescott, and Whitney schools. C16D

Lebowits Secretary to Miss Cole Attendance Clerk, I.KIL.A Render nick Robert S. Stewart librarian Chief Engineer Alberta Zrust Boo kroom BUILDING ADMINISTRATION COMPRISING the office staff this term arc Mrs. Aim, chief clerk and secretary to Mr. Cook, Miss Lebowits, attendance clerk, Mrs. George, secretary to Miss Cole, and Miss Zrust, in charge of the bookroom. The work of this small, efficient group is vastly important; the smoothness of a day’s routine depends a good deal on their efforts. Mrs. Rcndernick, in charge of the library, is assisted by Miss Chandonnet. The management of the lunchroom is the responsibility of Mrs. Claussen. She is aided by a group of women, two girls, a janitor, and the members of Miss Garvey’s cafeteria classes. Mr. Stewart, chief engineer, is at the head of a crew of competent janitors. Together these people make up a small group of vastly responsible persons; their entire day is given to the service of others — to the administrations, to the faculty, and to the students. They have proved themselves to he highly reliable; we admire and respect them for the effective way in which they perform their respective duties in our school. A characteristic of each department, the office, the library, and the cafeteria, is the corporative method they use in their work. Each is a helpmate to the other, and all devote the majority of their time to the students. C 183
