ADMINISTRATION United Stood the Administration As Teamwork Served the School Divided they would have fallen, but united they made up the strongest, most efficient administration and guid- ance staffs Miami Killian had known. Teamwork let no barriers mar perfect functioning of the school. Headed by Principal William Byrd and constituted by Miss Cecile Rousell, Mr. Max S-mith, Mr. Lewis Caputa, and Mrs. Elizabeth Cobb, assisant principals, the ad- ministration guided and served as the overseers of ac- tivities, lesson plans, and major decisions. Mr. Caputa handled discipline problems, appropriated funds and supervised social functions assisted by Mr. Smith, while Mrs. Cobb aided by supervising teachers in their instructional program. Miss Rousell's guidance counselors did not stop at advising students of academic schedules, but also provided information about major colleges for interested students, helped students acquire jobs, supervised testing and when necessary referred students to specialists. Student communications was a goal of the administra- tion and a student-faculty committee was established to evaluate administrative decisions and react to them. Mrs- Cornered in the Curriculum Office by Mrs. Cecilia Stoevall, Elizabeth Cobb contemplated plans for a field trip. --53 DISCIPLINARIANS MAX SMITH, LOW CAPUTA, AND LAMBERT REED BEND OVER TO 54 GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE COUGAR MAKER .

Behind every man there is a woman and behind every school there is the non-instructional personnel. From cleaning the school grounds to planning sched- uling, they helped keep Killian in the mainstream of education. The central office staff compiled student records and solved financial problems. Also on their daily agendas were school enrollment and at- tendance. After 3:15 p.m. when the building emptied of stu- dents, the custodial staff began preparing the rooms and hallways for tomorrow's educational tasks. Dur- ing the day, they managed to follow the students around and keep the grounds somewhat unlittered as well as fix air-conditioners, find an extra table for a teacher in distress, work with student groups pre- paring dances, assemblies, and other school func- tions, and generally keep the maintenance of the building high. Lunch, considered a favorite subject of most stu- dents, was the daily duty of the cafeteria staff in planning menus and serving over 2,000 students. 56 Nr .
