Neal Serves Girls in New Full Time Post V ONE OF Miss GLADYS NEAL,S first activities after attaining the position of Dean of Girls was the transforming of the barren headquarters to a delightful place in which to work. This, however, was extra- curricular. In her official capacity she checks on girls' absences and keeps a per- sonal record of every girl. She gives educa- tional guidance by helping girls make their school program an asset to them in their later life. Miss Neal also assists in securing part time employment for those girls who wish to earn a portion of their high school expenses. She is the literary advisor of the Survey and gives most generously of her time to that publication. Aside from all GLADYS NEAL Dean of Girls these, she teaches a Latin class and is a Girl Reserve sponsor. Miss Neal received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Earlham College and later, her Master's degree from Columbia University. One of the finest improvements Marion High School has ever had was the instituting of full time deans. Daily,'her excellent ad- vice and understanding help many students to obtain a new outlook on their work. One wonders how she can perpetually maintain her calm and humor when so many of the difficulties of others rest upon her. Each girl knows that she can count upon receiving the whole-hearted assistance of Gladys Neal, Dean of Girls.

gfjfii QQQQ, , Q FACULTY MEMBERS AMD STUDENTS IN ' L11 ,+,fZ !Q'Z'xf Al EDUCA TJIUN ASIDE FRONI THEIR task of teaching one particular subject, in itself a task requiring psychology and foresight, the faculty is called upon again and again to aid in school undertakings and extra-curricular activi- ties. The Easter Parade and Cactus Frolic are two of the most demanding events of the school year. Numberless clubs, either aililiated with classes or solely for entertain- ment need sponsors and organizers, and here the teachers are often called upon to assist. Faintly or strongly, the memory of their instructors will always remain with high school graduates. Long after students have forgotten the precise details of history, mathematics, or science, an indelible im- pression created by a chance phrase or movement of the teacher will recall the sub- ject to him. Perhaps the greatest task of a teacher, other than that of teaching his particular subject, is that of helping his pu- pils to learn to live and cooperate with peo- ple, a lesson they must remember vividly in the years following high school.
