A school Without efficient and competent staff, faculty, and ad- ministration is merely a building and in no Way a place where learning of any consequence can occur. Edu- cation, regardless of all the Worth- while tangible materials and equip- ment that may be employed, is primarily a people-to-people pro- cess . The people who receive are the students. The people who give-- the administration, from teacher to principal, from cooks to custodians --are those to whom we, as stu- dents, are indebted and to Whom this section is dedicated.

Mr. William Hammond, Greene's principal for the last four years, has done his best to maintain and promote discipline and spirit in academic and extracurricular activities . In addition to being Greene's secre- tary, Mrs . Helena Burton also served as school treasurer. Linda Annis held the position of part-time secretary. Both Mrs . Burton and Miss Annis filled their positions competently and efficiently. The primary responsibility of Mrs. Kercher, the school's guidance coun- selor, Was to help the students to more clearly define their vocational and academic goals . But she was always interested in helping the students with their personal problems . Mrs. judy Pentecost, the speech and hearing therapist, held classes for stu- dents With particular speech and hearing impediments . Mrs. Theresa Truelove, school nurse, gave first aid to students and kept health records . Applying bandages, giving eye and ear tests, and soothing the pains of many elementary children occupied much of Mrs. Truelove's time as school nurse. Mrs. Pentecost required much patience helping students overcome speech defects.
