Dean of Girls Mrs. Lena O'Neill The name of Missions dean of girls is a well-known and welcomed one to all who have ever met her. Experience has shown her to be capable of helping students to start on the road to high ideals and high standards. Mrs. Lena O'Neill spends her day talking about and solving problems, personal or otherwise, for those who come to her oH'ice. Her sympathetic manner and realistic outlook have made her an ideal girls' dean and assistant principal. She has become a friend to all who have sought her advice and suggestions. Her cheerfulness and friendliness will always be remembered. One of the busiest persons at Mission is Mrs. Thelma Bax- ter, head counselor. Always pleasant and agreeable, Mrs. Baxter may be seen every day welcoming confused students into her ofiice for guidance, Working with Mrs. Baxter, while teaching various subjects also, are many of the schools favorite faculty members. They keep test records, prepare students' programs for each new semester, and give guidance in the area of personal problems. They help answer such questions as What subjects will I succeed in? What vocation am I best suited for? What can I do to get better grades? The entire school is wishing Mrs. Baxter Bon Voyage as she leaves for a tour of Europe this summer. Dean of Boys Mr. Ralph Kauer Completing his first year as Dean of Boys of Mission High is Mr. Ralph Kauer. A Mission graduate himself, Mr. Kauer has already become an integral part of the Mission scene. The possessor of a friendly and amiable disposition, he has successfully taken over Mr. joseph Newman's job. When asked about his first year here Mr. Kauer replied, As my first year at Mission comes to a close, it is gratifying to know that the spirit of friendliness, which was such an important part of school life when I attended here as a student, still prevails. It has been a rather difficult task to learn the names and become acquainted with over one-thousand boys, but I think I have made some progress, and I am looking forward with interest to next year when I will be able to broaden my acquaintance with the students here at Mission. Head Counselor Mrs. Thelma Baxter PAGE NINE
