KIUIQHWMDL Dr. Ondrus Selects Employees To Fill Business Staff Vacancies The role of business manager for the Morton District requires a man experienced in accounting and business matters. As administrator of the yearly budget for both high schools and the junior college, Dr. Joseph Ondrus kept records of all business transactions, planned building improvements, and ordered necessary classroom equipment. He was also responsible for filling any vacancies which occurred on the non-teaching staffs of Morton East, Morton 'West, and Morton Junior College. In such a demanding position, Dr. Ondrus has proven himself to be a very capable business administrator. Deans Secure Tutors and Jobs For Students With Special Need The major responsibility of the deans' office is to deal with students, teachers, and parents in regard to student problems. More time and effort are given by the deans, Miss E. Jahelka and Mr. F. L. Wilson, in helping students to resolve their difficulties than in actual disciplinary measures. With attendance as a major concern of the deans, they see that tutors or homework assignments are provided when prolonged absences occur. If a student is in financial need, they try to help him find a job and provide him with the necessary recommendations. Student aids assist our deans by collecting attendance cards and delivering messages throughout the school. MISS E. IAHELKA ' -7' 133' I

HUTCHISON Mr. R. K. Kucera Serves First Year as Assistant Principal In March of last year, Mr. R. K. Kucera assumed the position of assistant principal by taking the place of Dr. V. J. Cerveny who had become dean of Morton Junior Col- lege. Mr. Kucera had been in the Morton school system for fourteen years and was well prepared to meet the de- mands of his new job. As coordinator of student activities, the new assistant principal was favorably impressed with the enthusiasm shown by West students for extra-curricular activities. Feeling that these were a good supplement to Mortonis regular curriculum, he was pleased with the wide representation of students in all school activities and looked forward to seeing even more student participation.
