Administration As we look back on the past year, we recognize im- mediately the importance of our principal, Mr. Devlin. He is the chief administrator of the high school. His supervision at our many school-sponsored activities re- minds us of the different phases of his job. Mr. Devlin willingly gives advice and assistance to the students of our school. Miss Heady is school registrar and secretary to Mr. Devlin. Without her in the ohice, many of us wouldn't have received the important messages phoned to us at school. Seniors owe a special thanks to Miss Heady for the interminable hours spent preparing words submit- ted with college applications. And where would we be without the absentee slips and morning notices? Don't just do something, stand there! Edward Devlin, High School Principal 6 Turn it over, it's upside down! Helen Heady, Registrar

I l Clifford Wise, Curriculum Coordinator I Elizabeth Childs, Girls' Guidance Director You may wonder now that the wonderful class of '63 is about to depart what Mr. Parsons and Mrs. Childs will do with all their spare time. Don't forget, however, that this year's great junior class will need all the help available in making their post-graduate plans. Freshmen, take heart! Our guidance directors actually care about you and want to help you with your problems. Sophomores, it's never too early to start thinking about your career and what college you would like to attend. Whatever your problem, two very experienced consultants are always available. Curriculum and Guidance Mr. Clifford Wise, curriculum co-ordinator, is re- sponsible for the effective execution of a carefully planned curriculum for grades one through twelve. Since he must always be one step ahead of the current trends in education, he constantly visits various classes to understand the problems facing modern education. Because of his thorough knowledge of the curriculum system at Medina High School and because of his vast experience in the field of curriculum co-ordination, Mr. Wise has become an integral and indispensable mem- ber of our administration. David Parsons, Boys' Guidance Director Our guidance department, in just four years, per- forms the seemingly impossible task of counseling all students during their transformation from verdant freshmen to grand ole seniors. During the freshman year, a parent-student-counselor meeting is held to make out a tentative schedule for the remaining three years. During the sophomore and junior years, this schedule is constantly checked and the necessary alter- ations are made. The guidance department is equipped with a large assortment of college materials, which are always available to interested students. In the junior and senior years, Mr. Parsons and Mrs. Childs attempt to aid the student in deciding what to do after gradua- tion. The college choices are made on the results of aptitude tests, personal preferences, and entrance re- quirements.
