ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF ARE GUIDING FORCE Subtly shaping the course of our high school years are twenty - four men and women who make up our faculty. Along with them, from the administrative stand- point, are the principal, assistant principal, director of instruction, the visiting teacher, and the entire School Board. Other members of the school staff are the school secretary, the cafeteria ladies, five bus drivers, a janitress, anda fireman. All these working together and mindful of the significance of NOW are truly the force which gradually guides us toward a more satisfying life. Faced with the task of attempting to do something constructive for every student' in a system that tries to teach a wide variety of subject matter to all the students, our faculty constantly tries to prepare them- selves to meet this tremendous challenge. Four of our teachers have earned Master's Degrees and one is working on her Doctorate. Q Doing bus duty, Miss Knight diligently sees that the very last student is safely on the bus. Many attend Hlmmer schools, extension classes, and professional conferences. An administrative faculty meeting is held on the second Monday of every month to work out difficulties that arise in the normal routine of each school day. On the third and fourth Mondays of each month, group professional faculty meetings are held during which specific phases of the school program are considered and discussed in an effort to improve the situation. Besides their regular classroom duties, teachers find themselves with many other duties in the school and community. Most teachers are sponsors of one or more of the school clubs, twelve sponsor home- rooms, and all take their turns at bus and hall duty and selling tickets at the ball games. Many aid in community projects and several are Sunday School teachers in their chosen churches. ' Don't stand in the hall are familiar words fromthe hall duty teacher, Mrs. Jean Fuller.
