the deans At this critical period in a girl's life, there is a definite need for personalized attention and advice. For this reason Miss Helen Iohnston gives hours of her time daily in the capacity of Dean of Girls. One of the greatest compliments can be paid Miss Iohnstong that is, she is very Well liked by her fellow Workers. Girls from the Senior Advisors, a group which she sponsors, speak praisingly of her patience, courtesy and consideration. Students of F.H.S. should be certainly proud of Dean Iohnston, who, although en- gaged in many more activities, is able to assist whenever her help is needed. ALBERT L. MATTOON MISS HELEN JOHNSTON Perhaps no other teacher in this school is so Well acquainted with the problems of teen-age boys as Dean Albert L. Mattoon. Mr. Mattoon is well-known at F.H.S. for his friendly and considerate handling of all situations. Besides carrying a full slate of regular classroom and community activities, Mr. Mattoon devotes additional time to special advisory conferences and to sponsoring the student council organization, along with Dean of Girls Helen Iohnston. Mr. Mattoon has recently been largely responsible for the annual Vocational Gui- dance clinic, and his persistent efforts have made this clinic a success. -
