Personnel . . Mr. Charles C. Parriott, who has completed his third year as director of personnel and sponsor of the Boys' club, received his B.A. at Penn State Teachers College and his M.A. at the University of Ne- braska. Way down where the yellow slips grow and the excuses flow thick and fast is that student rendezvous of Maine, the person- nel office. If one stood in its doorway long enough, one would see every Mainite, from the smallest freshman to the tallest senior, take his turn at the crowded counter or slip into one of the conference' rooms. For the personnel office is the nerve center of the school. It is here that every student has his program mapped out by a conusellorg it is here that he turns for in- formation and guidance. To the senior it DEAN OF GIRLS Miss VVilladell Allen, who re- placed Miss Louise Wood as dean of girls last fall, has degrees from Knox College and Northwestern University. She also sponsors the Girls' Club and teaches classes in Dramatics II and freshman orien- tation. is the place to go for the latest information on the draft, for help in selecting a suitable college or in getting his first job. But the personnel ofice is also 'the place where the student who forgets about school rules learns that the counsel- lors must lay the line somewhere in pro- tecting the law-abiding majority from the noisy and irresponsible minority. One who has been through the mill offers this bit of advice to restive colleagues: If you're gonna ditch next period, don'tg you ain't got a chance, chum.

V , f i Officers. In the future Mr. Holmes and the Board envisage' a building expansion, keeping utility and cost constantly in mind. Useful- ness must never be sacrificed for whims of architecture. More class rooms, new and better shops, an auditorium, and a new cafeteria - these are some of the' things in store for Maine, and with such able lead- ership at the top, we can feel sure they will come quickly. Dignity and quiet humor characterize Mr. C. L. Legg, assistant superintendent. and his way of blend- ing business and bits of pleasantry together has made him a personal friend of every student. Mr. Legg earned his A.B. degree at the University of Al- berta, and has A.M. degrees from both the Univer- sity of Michigan and McMaster University. BOARD OF EDIQCATIUN Left to right-Morris E.
