imPORTfiriT PARTS Of TH€ PICTUR6 AR€... OUR BOARD Of €DUCATIOn OUR PRiriCIPAL AnD HIS ASSIST A PITS In any community the school is and rightfully should be not only an institution for the education of the youth but an institution for adult education also. It should serve as a meeting place for various groups within the community needing educational facilities of various types. True, the district cannot afford to pay the cost incurred by these many additional uses of the building. Also, the school has a right to demand that the building be treated with the proper respect and care by those who use it. It has not been the policy of our board to try to make a profit out of renting the school for community activities. It has been the intention of the board to charge only enough to meet the actual cost incurred by the additional activity. We want our school to serve the community in its many needs and expect to grant its facilities to be used for any worthwhile activities at a minimum rental charge. 8 THE REDBIRD

Many of those extracurricular activities that were established some years ago in the West Frankfort Community High School continue to function and are looked upon as permanent or traditional high school activities. Although not popular with the students at their inception, the clubs are now much sought after and respected by the students. Some of the older clubs are the Hi-Y, Girl Reserve, G. A. A. and Student Patrol. Membership to such clubs is often restricted by certain requirements which the student must meet before being accepted. Such demands as regular attendance, student participation and scholarship tend toward a greater studious effort on the part of the would- be member. Thus we have a better student, club and school.

The smoothness with which any organization runs is very largely dependent on the efficiency of its office force. Plans may be made for a splendid organization but they will be ineffective unless they are properly directed and executed through the medium of the office staff. Our office staff consists of one full time secretary who organizes and gives direction to the activities of the rest of the force, two half-time assistants and five student assistants (see page 94) who devote one period each day to office work. The many demands upon this organization and the efficiency with which it operates are known to all the teachers and students who have watched it function throughout the year. Hats off to the office force! F. C. H. S. OFFICE STAFF Lois Dugger Julia Koscel Mr. S. B. Sullivan Ruth Teague OF 19 3 9 9
