Sficienf Z9ri14c4m!3 Guide Students Mr. VValter V. Long Principal Supervising student activities and students, the prin- cipal of Las Vegas High School, Mr. Walter V. Long, channels, directs, or evaluates the lives of over 1,750 students. The responsibility of this task is a great one, but is handled with the understanding, the ex- perience, and the devotion so necessary for the po- sition of principal. Mr. Longis experience in teaching and administrative work has developed a harmon- ious relationship between student and principal which encourages determination and self-reliance. This relationship has instilled in the student body the desire to elevate the standing of Las Vegas High School, its faculty, and students. Mr. Longis time is devoted to solving special disciplinary problems, fi- nancial problems, and the smooth operation of the school. However, he finds time in his busy schedule to enjoy the many facets of photography or to be- come absorbed in a favorite biography. Mr. Long is often seen rushing in and out of buildings and rooms, supervising at lunch, delivering Well-de- served paychecks to the faculty, and quietly and efficiently executing his duties and responsibilities of principal. Las Vegas High School is the product of the determination and efforts of Mr. Long.

The Board of Education and Administration is responsible for the harmonious operations of the school system and L.V.H.S. The job of this group is an extremely difficult one, for they must deal with the need for more teachers, better textbooks, and more and better classroom facilities. This job requires top individuals who are interested in the schools and the education of the students in Las Ve- gas. Our present school board administration certainly meets and exceeds these requirements, as they are a group of publicly-minded people. The Board meets regularly to discuss the problems of the educational system and to correct any flaws with which they can deal. Doubtless, Mr. Sewell President of the Board our school system is constantly improving through the dedication of these trustworthy adults. 5 .

K The tremendous responsibility placed on the shoulders of Mr. Long is somewhat eased by the excellent assistance given him by Mr. Harvey Stanford, Vice-Princi- pal. Mr. Stanford, who must deal with those students who insist on making school life difficult for all those con- cerned, is in charge of attendance. Stu- dents should greatly appreciate what Mr. Stanford has done for Las Vegas High School. Miss Ulis Newton Vice Principal 27 ,,...,.--wL,,,,,,,,J Mr. Harvey Stanford Vice Principal Director of the counselors and curriculum advisor, Miss Ulis Newton supervises two major areas of school life which demand much time, patience, and devotion. Miss Newton has been a part of Las Vegas High School for many years, and the great task she assumes has made her an asset to our principal, faculty, and coun- selors. The student body would greatly feel the loss of this capable vice-principal who has devoted such a great portion of her life to Las Vegas High School.
