Another day Another Dawn Mrs. Mabel Turkington served as a member of the Vocational High School staff for all of her teaching years. She demonstrated a sincere love for her students and was willing to assist them whenever the need arose. She was a loyal supporter of Vocational High School poliries and traditions, having assisted in the early development of our school under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Fish, founder of Vocational High School. Her cheerful disposition, her willingness to assist whenever needed, and her interest in teenagers all combined to build for Mrs. Turkington a reputation which continues in our memories. She will long be remembered as one who did her best to aid those who were assigned to her classes to become better citizens and to appreciate the value and importance of good English. MR. NORMAN A.

Tmg. COORDINATORS Our Coordinators each ear carefully select students who can qualify for training at Vocational. During the course of our three years here, they have occasion to help us with a variety of vocational and educational problems. If we have been able to maintain a good standard of achievement in both our trade and academic classes, they may place us in a cooperative work program in our senior year, and before we finish school they help us decide whether we should enter the world of work or go on to college.

A YEAR OF CHANGES To any person who has hung his hat for a few years somewhere in our building, the number of changes effected in both teaching staff and Civil Service personnel has been remarkable. The biggest office change this year occurred when Chief Clerk Mildred Heir left us, to be replaced by Mrs. Helen Brophcy. Other changes—those that occurred before our press time deadline, that is—are recorded in other appropriate places in this section of our yearbook.
