He is a leader, a counselor, and a friend, Mr. Morse, an advocate of social and extra- curricular activities, is always concerned with student activities. Therefore, he is always willing to accept suggestions and ideas to improve or alter student body proceedings, but is usually a step ahead of everyone. Everyday there is some new responsibility or rule to enforce. From checking the weekly schedule to meeting some student's parents, Mr. Morse is our competent leader. Aside from everyday official duties and responsibili- ' ties Mr. Morse is interested in each one of us and in each one of our troubles. He wants to know the good and bad news, the score of last nights' baseball game, Z v f A t Ct t L ,X . L, X L the outcome of the King and Queen contest, and is A N amused by the latest fads.

Mrs. Baxter, who is skilled in all phases of guidance herself, supervises this group of experts.
