GRACE WOOLDRIDGE, office secretary, she handles all of the school ' s accounts, answers telephones, oversees attendance, checks schedules and a thousand and one other things. All of this would probably make the average person go nuts, but Mrs. Wooldridge has the vivid personality needed to keep up this pace. The office girls do a lot of running around for the secretaries every day. There main duties every per¬ iod are the collecting of absent slips, filling out absent sheets, and taking messages to the teachers and students when they are called upon to do so. These girls work hard every day, and they learn about the running of the school. Here Donna Summers and Natalie Sinclair are seen working on some typing for their job. Pictured below are Mrs. Vandermark and Mr. Moretz, the girl’s and boy ' s deans. This is the first yearL.H.S. has had such an office, but when a school ' s population increases as much as ours has, some- thingmustbe done. Mrs. Vandermark and Mr. Moretz took special training in coun¬ seling, so they would be qualified for the job. They are kept very busy, mainly be cause not all students are angels, and many try to keep in the tradition of the L.H.S. Devil. GERTRUDE EAGLE, assistant of¬ fice secretary. Mrs. Wooldrige is so swamped with work, that it was decided she needed an assistant, and Mrs. Eagle has very capably filled her position. She has only been here since April, but she en¬ joys working at L. H. S. very much. We hope we will see a lot of Mrs. Eagle around here in the years to come. 25 -

FRANK E. DICK, Principal of L.H.S. Everyone knows whata principal ' s jobis. He walks around the building with a whip in his hand, scaring everyone to death. Our principal is not that type of a person. Mr. Dick has a friendly personality, and he is always ready with a helping hand. There are many times when he has to reprimand someone for misbehavior, but he does this tactfully, and with a sincere desire to help the person in trouble. A growing school such as ours needs a person in charge who is a progressive thinker. L.H.S. is very for tunate to have Mr. Dick for a principal. Since Mr. Dick has been in office, many new and modern changes have taken place. BEHIND THE SCENES AT L.H.S. RAYMOND FORBURGER and W. R. WEAVER, are our school trustees. Their job is a difficult one indeed. They do the hiring of faculty, they allot money to the different departments and in general they try to keep old L.H.S. on the ball. THOMAS STUART Along with Mr. Stuart ' s many varied activities, he also performs the duties of Assistant Principal. There never seems to be enough time in the day for him, as he is always on the go for one thing or another. Between his classes of World History, the L Club , and his assistant principal duties, he ' s about one of the busiest figures around L. H. S. Through all this, though, he remains one of the more popular faculty members with the student body. - 24 -
