Page 10 MEMOIRS U. 8. Grant Miss Henderson, Dean JUST WHAT DOES A DEAN DO?” was a question frequently propounded at the be-beginning of school, as the students of Grant became gradually aware that that pleasant-looking Miss Henderson did not seem to fit into the category of ordinary teachers. A person could go to her for advice on programs; a missing book or pen or comb or whatnot could be recovered at her office; she could bind up a burned finger—and it was easy in those early days to spill a little acid on an investigating finger—or relieve a headache, or care for a girl who might be taken ill suddenly. We have begun to depend upon our dean for these good offices; but we hardly realize even yet the varied services which fill Miss Henderson’s day. Besides maintaining a Lost and Found Bureau and a First Aid establishment, the dean is an ex-officio member of the Student Council, and assists them with her advice and her constantly increasing knowledge of the interests and abilities and the little peculiarities natural to high school students. She also conducts an Employment Bureau for girls who desire to be partially self-supporting. To her come mothers and fathers who wish to know why their daughters are not measuring up to their high expectations in school work and conduct. These, with her class in History Five, are the chief of her regular duties. In addition, she is continually called upon by students and teachers alike for the help which she seems to enjoy giving—help in writing a special paper, perhaps, or buying flowers for the sick, or planning a club or a program. Hiss Henderson came to us from Lincoln High School, where she had been teaching Civics and History, and where she was much in demand as a class advisor and a sponsor of literary and debating clubs. Her chief hobby, aside from her school work, is playing piano accompaniments, for which she is particularly well fitted, since she is a graduate of the Music School of De Pauw University, and taught piano there after her graduation. She also holds the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois. The fine attitude of the girls of Grant has especially impressed Miss Henderson since she has been here, and has made her work very pleasant. Like all of us, she is enthusiastic over Grant High School, and certain that it is to become one of the biggest and finest of the Portland high schools.
