The principal's cabinet is such an organization. The department chairmen and guidance directors represent the entire teaching staff at the bi-weekly conferences called by Mr. Heisey. Among the duties of this group is the formulation of the governing policies of the school and the planning for the carrying through of all policy adopted. These people also deal with problems relative to the methods of teaching. Included in this is the question of tests and the measurement of the scholastic growth of each pupil. The members of the cabinet must keep well abreast of current professional literature in order to interpret to better advantage these difficult days. The welfare of the student is the subject of much discussion. The problems of school leaders, as well as those who are in need of correction, are given close attention. Plans are drawn up and instructions given during cabinet sessions for the ordering of materials and text books. This in itself is a task of great proportions. Mr. Victor D. Heisey acts as cabinet chairman and Mr. Ralph Wimer as vice chairman. ll

Administrators Mr. Ralph W'imer The dillicult and demanding po- sition of school secretary is handled hy Mrs. Kathryn Pafel Wilsrmn. Kitty, as she is known to all students of Fort Hill, is more than an efhcient secretary. She is school spirit per- sonihed. Kitty is an enthusiastic follower of all athletic events. Her loyal support of Fort Hill and the teams is an inspiration to many of us. To Hilltoppers past and present Kitty is the epitome of friendship, and understanding. The gentleman who never fails to say good morning to everyone is our vice principal, Mr. Ralph Wiiimer. These words, however, are just the beginning of another busy day for him. Mr. Wiilmer has taken over the tremendous job of attendance at Fort Hill. He also handles the discipline cases that arise during the course of the day. It is through his good judg- ment and fair procedures in this re- spect that he has gained the respect of all of us. Mrs. Kathryn Pafel W'ilsor1
