14 7114 MR. WM. HODGSON, Assistan Princi al 1 MR. VICTOR D. HEISEY rlhiipalp N 1 fit' x ,, GENERAL HEADQUARTERS Every army has its commander-in-chief upon whose shoulders numerous duties and responsibilities are placed. The colossal task of managing our training and advancement on the hilltop is in the the capable hands of our principal, Mr. Victor D. Heisey. With an amazing record of student guidance behind him, Mr. Heisey assumes, in his quiet, effi- cient manner, the huge problem of keeping our democratic government and school sched- ule functioning smoothly despite the distracting influence of War. Sharing in the burden of the daily routine is an assistant principal, whose role is that of guidance director and disciplinarian. Until March this responsibility belonged to Mr. William Hodgson who left our ranks to go into more active service as a Lieutenant lj. g.l in the United States Navy. After his departure, his duties were assigned to Miss Margaret Hamilton and Mr. Alfred Benna of the Mathematics department. An important and dearly beloved character in our administrative system is Miss Patel, school secretary. who daily greets with a smile the numberless tasks assigned to her. She is aided by an expert office force of student volunteers who are to be congratulated for their uncomplain- ing efforts during the school year. Endless difficulties demand the attention of these four persons in keeping the wheels of the school moving forward but they always have time to be a friend and help the entire personnel. 10
