THE ADMINISTRATION The hub of our school is the administrative body. Any hour of the day that we walk into one of the offices, we may hear the clicking of typewriters and see the office girls, whom we have come to know so well, busily at work distributing our locker keys, arranging our program schedules, writing our admits, and doing many routine tasks which help to make our school run smoothly. Miss Hoke, the head of the administration, and Mr. Asher, her assistant, also devote much time and energy to making the school a place where its chief functions, teaching and learning, may be effectively performed by teachers and students. Virginia Shepherd FLOYD G. ASI-IER lvlr. Asher, our assistant principal, is a man who can face with unruffled calm the myriad demands for supplies, books, and repairs, and do the count- less other tasks that go with caring ' for the material part of school admin- istration. In matters of attendance, he is undaunted even by the problems which epidemics and spring fever create. His sane, logical judgment and understanding sympathy have led teachers and students alike to seek his advice about subjects as varied as school life itself. Marilynn Salon Page eleven

The Advisory Council discusses these various school and community problems at monthly luncheon meetings held in the school cafeteria throughout the school year. The school and community present their problems, and suggestions are made for solving them. Many improvements have resulted from these suggestions. The ultimate aim of the Advisory Council is to bring about a better understanding among the students, teachers, and members of the community. They are indeed accomplishing this aim, as they have just completed their tenth year as a success- ful organization. Both the community and the school have profited by their cooperation within this group. Richard Gillette Page thirteen
