OFFICE AND STUDY HALL On entering the office, one may find several students presenting notes, in return for which they receive pink slips which admit them to the days classes. The slips are signed by Miss Walker or Mrs. VValp. At a later hour Mrs. Walp may be seen cataloging new books for the library, and Miss Walker taking dictation or busy with a type- writer. Some time after the beginning of the second semester Miss Walker was forced to take a rest, and Miss Stanley came to do her work. The study hall supervisors at Maine are Miss Pitt; Miss Wolfram, and Mrs. Jiencke. Mrs. Jienckels chief duty at Maine is the maintenance of the cafeteria where most of Mainels students and teachers take their midday meal. Mr. Himel once said, ttIf every per- MISS VVAIKER son in the country has :1 right to share MR5. Juchm: MISS Pm- in the governing of our nation, how much more then should every teacher, because of his special training for the work, assist the principal in the administration of the schooll'. MaineKs admin- istrative plans are based on this belief. Once every five weeks a dinner and meeting are held, in order that lel the teachers may know and have a share in solving the problems that arise. The principal is assisted not only by his teachers as a group and individ- ually, but also by committees appointed from time to time to work out spe- cific problems. There are three standing committees which do valuable work during the year: the Social Activities Committee, composed of Miss Lewerenz, Miss Parolini, and Mrs. Galvarro; the Administrative Committee, composed of Mr. Fisher, Mr. North, and Mr. Foulkes; and the Commencement Activities Committee composed of Miss Lewerenz, Mr. Hagen, Miss Parolini, Mr. Walp, and Miss Cassidy. Administration of affairs at Maine is further facilitated by the class spon- sors, whose duties include the supervision of all class undertakings, their social affairs, entertainments, credit records, etc. The principal is further aided by sponsors appointed for each individual. It is the duty of these advisers to make the acquaintance of the student, try to gain his confidence so that he will take his problems to the sponsor, who can often give the pupil the advice or encouragement needed, thus preventing him from making a failure of his work, or even from dropping out of school. 21
