Programs Run Smoothly By Administrators ‘Moving on” was a continual process for the high school administration. From conducting teacher meetings to evaluating them in the classroom, from meetings with individual students to meetings with parents, the administration was always on the move. Planning the curriculum and preparing the student schedules were also responsibilities of the high school adminis- tration. Disciplinary problems were handled by the principal and his assistant. Overseeing the athletic program and the student extra-cur- ricular activities was another duty of the principal while one of the primary duties of the assistant principal was student atten- dance. Both Edward Terek, principal, and Sam Plummer, assistant principal, worked hand in hand to make certain that the high school program moved on smoothly.

 tt Department Concerns Itself In Three Areas Threefold were the concerns of the special services depart- ment: educational, physical, and social. Helping the students move on in these areas was the aim of teaching personnel of this group. Steve Hrapchak, guidance counselor, met regularly with the students, in particular with the seniors, to aid them in moving in the right direction, from class scheduling to college choice. Not only school-related problems, but personal problems as well were handled by this department. Social worker Martha Kozar helped those in need of welfare and those individuals wishing homebound instruction. On the other hand, Frank Leach, home school visitor, checked student truancy and acted as the go-between for home and school. Looking after the health needs of individuals, Clarann Hillen- brand, conducted yearly physicals, and ear and eye checkups along with general health care. Finally, Richard Pasierb, in charge of the special education, aided those in his classes to move in at their own rate of speed while teaching the practical aspects of education. Special Services - 17
