ADMINISTRATION am MW Kms cw We Students sometimes feel that they're the only ones who have to meet deadlines and followa hectic schedule day after day. Following schedules and meeting dead- lines were not the woes of students alone, for the members of the administrative staff were kept extremely busy in the adminis- tration and organization of the curriculum and activities of our school, striving to improve student-teacher relationships. The responsibility of supervising the management of the school and dealing with problems revolving around the curriculum was vested inPrincipal William J. Geiger. Working hand in hand with Mr. Geiger in administrative a f f a i r s and numerous school committees was Mrs. Janet Land- graf, vice-principal. She handled the financial aspect of the school as head of the Finance Committee. Since 1943 she has been promoting weekly educational assembly programs. This year she used a theme of enlightenment for the benefit of the students. It was Respond to the Call for More Interest, Initiative, ln- dustry, and Integrity. The intimate problems of the students were handled by the counselors, Mrs. Doris Keppeler and William Wise. De- voting much attention to the individual needs of students, their intention was to assist. The counselors checked on absent students and those seeking readmittance. Mrs. Genevieve Yates, school regis- trar, enrolled students, made program changes, and issued releases. The maln- tenance of a file of p ermanent record cards and the administering of the testing pro- gram were also under her supervision. Educational -vocational g u i d a n c e was provided by Esmond Chun thro ugh per- sonal interviews with juniors and others requesting assistance. He met with in- terested groups, informing s tu d e nts on career opportunities, institutions of high- er education, and financial help available. As adviser of all McKinley Government activities, Mrs. Mary Sutherland directed the school's participation in community projects as well as the fun part of school life. Student government elections were also under her surveillance. MRS. JANET LANDGRAF, VICE-PRINCIPAL, refers to her master calendar of events for the year. On it, she lists the reservations for all school-wide assembly programs and other school events. -.Qu mm 'Q , ' 1

Today no major building can be built by any con- tractor who first has not received from the archi- tect complete and detailedplans for the erection of the structure. 0.1r teachers, knowing that life is far more intricate than the construction of the finest building, help us to complete our individual blue- prints for life after high school.
