Mr. Willialn Edwards assists the principal with the many things which keep a large school operating by taking over necessary details such as paper work, student queries, and anything that would prevent the school from functioning smoothly. He is well qualified for the task, as he has worked as a principal or counselor in Italy, Germany, and Oregon since 1949. This is his first year at Frankfurt. Mr. Thomas Nocito organizes the gigantic task of keeping the attendance records straight, One finds him signing blue slips and compiling the list of absentees in the morning. He also checks excuses for the permission-to-be-absent slips, sees that the files are up-to-date, and teaches a class in World History. He earned his masters degree at Syracuse University and worked for several years in New York state before joining the Frankfurt faculty in 1957. Mr. Henry Schofer co ordinates all of the activities which take place during the school day. One ofhis major problems is making sure that all scheduled clubs have aplace to meet and that they do not interfere with each other. He also hears pleas for the organization of new activities, helps in scheduling assemblies, and sees that the daily bulletin goes out. His experience has been gained by work in Japan, Korea, Berlin, and Ohio previous to his arrival at Frankfurt this year.
