ADMINISTRATION Computers Assist Office Personnel in Pre-School Registration V Registration was simplified through the use of computers. Previously organized by the faculty, the computers great- ly eased the pre-school burden of the administration. In a special assembly held last May, students selected the courses they desired. The data was sent to the computers in Atlanta and schedules were returned by September. , , I Modernization was further achieved by a switchboard f i , . i system which centralized all school phones. Calls came a it: t i , into the office switchboard and were then connected to internal departments or outside lines. This diminished the confusion in both the main and departmental offices. 3 f x h i Dean of students Mr. Tally tabovey converses with a new student and explains Leon policies.

SPECIAL 1970 Marks The Culmination of 32 Years of Dedicated Service Robert P. Stevens has given many years of dedicated service to Leon High School since his arrival here in 1938. He began his career teaching journalism, English, reading and arithmetic. He also served as faculty advisor to the High Life for nine years and helped to make it one of the best school papers in the South. In 1946, he was made assistant principal and remained in this position for nine years. In 1969 he was chosen boss of the year by the American Business Women's Association. Mr. Stevens' career in education has been paralleled by his role as both a husband and a father to three children. He is a member of the Kiwanis Club, the parent organiza- tion of Key, a Leon club which Mr. Stevens has sponsored for more than ten years while also acting as principal. Professional preparation began for Mr. Stevens at the University of Florida when he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism in 1933. He realized then that education should reach beyond the classroom; so with a young, energetic spirit he worked aboard a Tramp Steamer and toured the world. After two years, Mr. Stevens returned to the University of Florida and con- tinued his formal education, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in education. While serving as Assistant Principal, he received his Masters' Degree in Secondary School Su- pervision and Administration from Columbia University. His extensive training and personal attributes have en- abled him to meet with dignity the many challenges of the principalship. His calm reassurance and leadership have guided the paths of students and teachers alike. We are among those in the community who owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Mr. Stevens whose unselfish devotion has been an inspiration to many throughout the years. Mr. Stevens is seen working diligently at his desk solving one of the many problems which arise while running the school. Mr. Stevens Gem won the John Kilgore Headliner Award for Man of the Year in 1955. He is receiving the award from Governor Leroy Collins. Mr. Stevens tabovet helps an office assistant.
