James, as principal of Grand Junction High School, supervised eighty-seven teachers, 1,700 students, three office secretaries, ten custodians, and eleven cooks. Striving for improved opportunities for students, more specific attention to the individual, better chances for self-improvement, and maintenance of adequate facilities, Mr. James considers these as perpetual goals for himself and the entire staff. For all, Mr. James typified the traditional Tiger spirit while assuming increased responsibility for the curriculum. A valuable link between the school and the people of the community, Mr. James assumed public relation duties and participated in civic activities.

Counselors Advise Students, Offer Solutions To Problems The four guidance counselors helped students solve personal problems, pick a college or a vocation, and get the most out of the days spent in high school. They all attempted to prepare the student for entering the modern world. They supervised the Student Council, Boys and Girls League, and the selection of Tiger and Tigress-of-the-Month. All of the college board exams plus the statistical research involving each pupil were handled by the counselors, too. Questions flowed fast and furious at the four, but they always aided the student in some way. The educational, social, and personal well-being of the students was always the aim as the counselors planned for the future of Tigers. Interviewing is one of the many jobs Charles Scrivner encounters as counselor. Charles Everett searches his records to recall facts about a student. Keith Miller studies materials to gain background for counseling about college. Miss Arvilla Gregor thumbs through her files to find information to counsel a student. 17
