Freshman Class sponsor Head of Guidance Sophomore Class Department sponsor Counselors render advice, action, aid By giving each student individual attention and guid- ance, counselors rendered an invaluable service. Helping students adjust to high school was the responsibility of underclassman counselors, while upperclassman counselors aided students in determining future plans, whether educa- tion or business. In an effort to determine the abilities of each student, the guidance department administered many tests. The guidance office kept a complete supply of college materials, as well as a large vocational library. In an attempt to uncover the underlying causes of many problems in the Guidance Department, class counselors confer with Mrs. Carver at one of their weekly -meetings.

by Keene, Parrish “But, Mr. Parrish, I really forgot about Detention Hall.” “Are you sure I can only take one course in summer school?” Considering pleas and responding to anxious students’ questions were only two of the Assistant Principals’ jobs. As part of this counsel, they gave advice and initiated action. Mr. Parrish managed the school’s financial affairs, while Miss Keene directed the reorganization of classes each semester. She was also responsible for preparing the master schedule. In connection with the school’s financial affairs, Mr. Parrish helped the Yearbook with its budget. He also served as Principal of John Marshall’s evening school. Along with her other duties, Miss Keene organized and provided the staff for summer school in grades four through twelve and served as sponsor of the As- sembly Commission. Besides performing their regular duties, Assistant Principals Miss Keene and Mr. Parrish were often called upon to represent John Marshall at official functions. Miss Keene receives a list of pupils in first-semester studies from Mrs, Cruickshanks, the new study teacher. Intent on her subject, Miss Keene talks to the faculty.

Secretaries keep up organized routine age “But I have to go home and get my notebook.” “Why can’t I leave without seeing the nurse?” “But I couldn’t help it if the bus broke down!” These were just thtee of the minor emergencies faced and coped with by the office secretaries. Besides performing the normal office duties of typing letters, completing reports for the administration, and an- swering the telephone, the secretaries continuously aided per- plexed students and relayed messages from worried parents. They were also busy assisting teachers with the daily routine of cutting stencils, completing college transcripts, filing, and duplicating. The diplomacy and efficiency of capable secretaries succeeded in keeping the office operation smooth throughout the year. a oe re or ie . ny» «£ Mary Culligan Nellie P. Henson Rebecca F. Kate M.
