MR. ROBERT KILL Deans Develop Student Potential; Provide Counsel The fall of 1960 brought new titles and duties to our deans. In past years Fullerton High School has had a dean of girls and a dean of boys, each concerned with the problems of instruction and conduct. At the begin- ning of the current year a program was introduced which made the dean of students responsible for the conduct of both boys and girls. The dean of instruction became responsible for the student instruction and curriculum. This year the dean of counseling and guidance was added, replacing the guidance coordinator. Mr. Kill, vice-principal and dean of students, assumed the duties of the principal in his absence and became responsible for student conduct. This responsibility often proved difficult during our exciting ' fall football season. Some of Mr. Kill ' s other duties included: the supervision of student body finances, assistance in the administration of the summer school program, and the development and control of student activities. Mrs. Spears, dean of instruction, had a year-round job — the improvement of instruction and curriculum. The fall was a busy season for Mrs. Spears with the orientation of new teachers. The creating of a master schedule for the coming school year kept her active in the spring. Mr. Lynn, dean of counseling and guidance, was in charge of the student counseling program. It was Mr. Lynn ' s duty to see that adequate counseling services were provided for the student body at all times. The adrninis- tration of the testing program and the responsibility for all student records were also among Mr. Lynn ' s duties. We have appreciated the fine work done by our deans throughout the year; our campus would surely have functioned less successfully without them. MR. ARTHUR LYNN 14

This year ' s district administra- tors were headed by our Super- intendent, Dr. Ernest G. Lake. The administrators acted as the supervising body over all the schools. in the Fullerton Union High School district. Their most important func tions were to at- tend the meetings of the boord and to enforce iits policies. In November, Student Body Pres- ident Bob Weaver and Student Body Vice-President Fred Silvo proposed the redecoration of the student lounge to them. Im- pressed by the students ' en- thusiasm, the administrators approved the plans. Almost immediately the work was be- gun, and the lounge was opened in December. With such an in- terested and cooperative admin- istration, FUHS could not help but flourish. Left to right; W, J. Riotcel, asst. supt., funds and business affairs; L. W. ' .

Trustees Chart Academic Progress Our Board of Trustees, under the direction of President James R. Ratcliffe, has worked hard this season to insure the highest education- al standards fo r the FUHS district. These citizens had the re- sponsibility of planning the educational programs and facilities best suited to the needs of our students. One of the problems they worked with was the ever increasing enrollment. This year they let the contract for Lowell High School in La Habra, which will be the fifth high school in our district. These men have played a decisive role in our educa- tion and helped us greatly through the ' 61 seasons. Left to right: Herbert Warren, Leonard Andrews, James R. Ratcliffe, president; Frances Lard J i Joe Johnson. 13

This year we had two coordinators: Mr. Floyd Moore, student activities coordinator, and Mr. Louis Armijo, coordinator of child guidance and attendance. Mr. Moore could usually be found hurrying about the campus planning and direct- ing our many activities. The fall was a particu- larly busy season with football games, freshmen orientation and Homecoming. Mr. Moore was also a participant in the newly-formed student discussion group. Mr. Armijo was usually found in his office, hard at work, checking up on the students playing hooky. He was responsible for a wide variety of jobs ranging from fall and spring census cards to absentee verification colls. Left to right: Floyd Moore, coordinator of student activities; and Louis Armi|o, coordinator of child guidance and attendance. Expert Guidance Offered Students Behind their desks five popular counselors waited, ready to aid a student body of nearly 2,000. Friends and advisors, they helped us to build a schedule that would please us, our parents and the colleges of our choice. Throughout the fall they were busy notifying seniors of scholarship and entrance examination dates. The counselors also aided students in making college choices and filling out the lengthy applica- tion forms. The underclassmen, upon their arrival at FUHS, were assisted in curriculum choices and were notified of graduation requirements by conscientious and interested counselors. The counselors were also available for discussion of the wide variety of questions and problems which arose during the school year. Mr. Miller and Mrs. Schwartz, senior counselors, were constantly busy aiding the 750 seniors. Mrs. Schwartz was also college counselor and was therefore called upon for college recommendations. The juniors ' counselor, Mrs. Murray, guided her students through perhaps their most important high school year. The sophomores and freshman began their high school careers properly under the direction of Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Dvorman. ' f .
