Fewer lights and less heat were just two of the energy saving measures put into effect in Decem- ber by David L. Smith, superinten- dent of schools.

He urged students to initiate the use of lower temperatures and fewer lights at home and asked teachers and students who had to drive to school because of after school jobs to form car pools. “There is a shortage, but if everyone makes some sacrifices, there will be no serious hardships for anyone.” (David L. Smith) Checking the files for a needed order form is Twila Patterson, Mr. Smith’s secretary. 13

Principal Office Linked Closely With Students Any student in need of help should feel free to come to my office at any time to discuss the matter. (Joseph Madigan) As the closest link between the administration and student body, Joseph Madigan, Forest Hills High School principal, always took an interest in student needs and club projects. Writing recommendations and nominating students for awards and honors, Mr. Madigan assisted many of those who were seeking employment or college acceptance. Mr. Madigan also coordinated and approved all school activities, granting permission for dances, pep rallies, and other projects sponsored by various clubs. In organizing the new method of class officer elections, he worked closely with the election committee in setting up controls and advising participants on proper procedure. He was always ready to give a help- ing hand. High school principal Joseph P. Vladigan confirms a recommendation for one of many seniors seeking part-time employment on Saturdays. One of the many duties of Florence Wissinger. Mr. Madigan's secretary, is mak- ing Xerox copies of student records needed for college admission.
