They try to anticipate our needs Dr. E. Carlton Abbott Beauty and flexibility, keynoting the art, music, home economics, and physical education additions to Lansdowne-Aldan High School, provide renewed inspiration to administrators seeking improvements and advances in curriculum, extra-curricular activi- ties, and general school affairs. School policy is ably administrated by Dr. E. Carlton Abbott, our most affable superintendent. Mr. Joseph D. Moore, principal, is chiefly con- cerned with the smooth, integrative functioning of all aspects of school life. Miss Mary E. Lindenmuth, assistant principal, advises juniors and seniors on college and career choices. Handling attendance, dis- cipline, and guidance counseling for sophomores and freshmen is the concern of Assistant Principal Mr. Roland Hughes. Seventh and eighth graders turn to Mr. Stanley Kleckner, assistant principal, for aid in their affairs. Always ready with a friendly smile and a helping hand, Mrs. Isabel Algard and Miss Juliet Calebro, secretaries in the principal’s office, do much to sm x)th over the ruffles of a student’s experiences. Mrs. Margaret Genn and Mrs. Hilda Woods han- dle secretarial duties in the office of Superintendent. Without the kindness, capability, and enthusiasm of the administration, Lansdowne-Aldan High School would be unable to function. Students appre- ciate the efforts of this body to bring order into the often confusing complications of rosters, bell sched- ules, lunch periods, studies, homework, and extra- curricular activities.
