7 Service With Efficiency Continued efficiency was the major goal for this year's support staff, according to secretary Celia Square. Their duties ranged from taking care of the many student needs in the attendance office to serving the long cafeteria lines. Their duties also included servicing the cashiers window and main office as well as keeping the school grounds neat and tidy. You could always count on the support staff to keep things running smoothly, commented senior Joan Oxford. i Besides tasks done, more important was the feeling the support staff created between the students and themselves. Stated secretary Dodie Hayes, You have to be fair with allot them, good student or not, and treat them all the same. Chester Barbara Cook Lou - Q -0 an - , . tr S s . , v 'M,Va,ng2 ..

School Board: Working Toward A Common Goal There has always been a great rivalry between the inter-district schools in sports, debate, etc., but the overall goal ofthe School Board is to have equal education and fair treatment of all the students in the Kent schools, commented Mr. Millard Battles, a nine year veteran to the Board who also acted as the Legislative Representative for the 1981-82 academic year. Meeting every second and last Wednesday of the month, the Board members were responsi- ble for approving the hiring of new district staff, appropriating the district budget lwhich totalled 40,531,722 dollarsl and approving new curriculum. Besides being an election year for two of the members, many new policies were discussed and put into effect. One of the larger expenditures to be placed on the voting ballot was a bond issue concerning the expansion and renovation of French Field. A second issue included additional money to be used in the Kentridge service area, which would cover the estimated 860,000 cost to redo the drainage system of the upper fields. Mr. George T. Daniel, Superintendent of the Kent schools, was very pleased with the Boards' ac- tions. The neatest thing about the school board members is that all their time is donated -- they receive no monetary compensation. Each person really cares about the progress of the students . . . it's a completely individual dedication. f 1 I 2. S. Smith 2. 1. Area Manager Ouenten Lee. 2.

X . .2 Looking Ahead With the seniors accounting for the larger percentage of the student body, the counseling department emphasized post-graduation plans and strived for instilling good attitudes in each student towards school. They also provided quality course selections for career preparation. The counselors arranged pre-college and minimum competency tests, and received informa- tional and resource visitors from colleges, military, and other services. They assisted students with problems in school, finance, and family life. The counselors are special people, acknowledged Woe-Principal Dr. Kathy Purcell. They are the only people in the school that see the student as a whole person, and can assist the student to improve himself in whatever field he has shown the most interest and efficiency. When asked what was most rewarding for him during the year, Mr. Jack Henderson claimed, Helping students to know themselves better, to find answers and solutions to questions and problems, and the opportunities to work closely with individual students in the pursuit of their per- sonal goals makes my job the most exciting and satisfying l can imagine!
