ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS Mr. Bernard works behind the scenes to make our years at Jefferson as good and as interesting as possible. As Assistant Principal for Instruc¬ tion, he does not often deal personally with the students, but the results of his efforts can be seen everyday. He arranges for substitute teach¬ ers, approves field trips, and is the one re¬ sponsible for making sure we have textbooks and equipment. Mr. Bernard is the one to turn to when a key is needed to unlock? a display case or a room. An important part of his work that most of us take for granted is the planning of curriculum and the supervision of instruction. Mr. Bernard does an excellent job supplying the school with the organization needed to keep it running smoothly. FRANK BERNARD B.S., State Univ. of New York M.A., New York University Mr. Visnich is the man who comes most closely in touch with the students. As Assistant Principal for Administration, he begins each morning by checking the buses as they arrive. Throughout the day he calls students to the office, deals with attendance records, checks cars for park¬ ing stickers, disciplines those unwilling to obey the rules, greets people in the cafeteria, makes the seldom heard after¬ noon announcements, and waves good¬ bye to the buses while he holds his mysterious radio. Although one of his many jobs requires him to handle those who cause problems, Mr. Visnich is still well-liked and respected by the student body.

STELLOH JOSEPH WILL B.A., Catawba College M.A., George Washington Univ. Department Chairman GUIDANCE The main principle and philosophy of the Guid¬ ance Department is that no two individuals are exact¬ ly alike. Each has his own pattern of growth, which determines to a large extent the direction and rate of his progressive development. This pattern of development can flourish best in an appropriate en¬ vironment, which a good teacher and counselor will provide. The Guidance Department’s role is to enable each student to best prepare himself for the years ahead. They do this by aiding the student in every way they can, and by supplementing the academic program provided by the teaching staff. However, counseling is not limited to the guidance offices, for many of the teachers also serve as counselors to their stu¬ dents. Guidance serves only as a map to assist the stu¬ dent in finding his direction. We do not give an education, we merely give the means for one. MRS. CYNTHIA B.
