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

SERVICE STAFFS gwblgfl hz sm me am' During the past year, little attention was drawn to the service staff. Except for a handful who were exposed to the staff, the majority of the student body took their role for granted. It is true that they were sala- ried workers who are hired to work, but they are also an lntegralpart of our school government. Wi th o u t them our school would not be as well -organized and as smoothly functional. In order to operate a school government in true business-like manner, r e c o r d s must be kept for ready and future refer- ence. Efficiently doing this job throughout the year were members of the office staff, Mrs. Gladys Matoi, treasurerg Miss Annie Akamu, secretaryg Mrs. Ellen Chang, attendance clerkg and Miss Amy Gcumoto office clerk, and student helpers.

McKinley C t' sh'p Cl b Ad Nurs g Cl b Ad 'S MISS ANNIE AKAMU SECR ETARY Everyday, students and teachers need energy to study and concentrate. Under the supervision of Mrs. Frances Sasaki, the cafeteria staff provided this energy by preparing hot, nutritious lunches al- though the facilities were limited to old appliances and obsolete equipment. Today, our campus is neat and P1e8SaI1t- Much of the credit is due to the custodial staff headed by Manuel Jesus, who worked hard throughout the year. The custodians also helped decorate the stage and worked on the scenery for our many assemblies. The library was a reference, reading, and study center for industrious students. Through the able assistance of Mrs. Gladys Falukner and Mrs. Ruth Craig, li- brarians, students were al m o s t always able to obtain the information they sought.
