Ross Accepts Principalship, Counseling System Varies Classes at MHS began last fall under the direction of a new principal, Mr. Victor l. Ross, lr. Before coming to Moline, Mr. Ross worked in the Littleton, Colorado school system for ten years, serving as an English teacher and department head, news- paper sponsor, and curriculum coordinator. Most recently, he held the positions of assistant principal and principal of Isaac Newton lunior High School. Mr. Ross's experiences in Littleton include service on the human relations commission and two terms on the city coun- cil. He is especially concerned about narcotics and juvenile ad- diction at high school level. A new counseling system was begun, making each counselor responsible for a group of students from all three grade levels instead of only one level as in past years. This arrangement makes it possible for counselors to gain a well-rounded view of the entire student body. The introduction of permanent stu- dent ID cards and the mechanization of admitting procedures freed the counselors from much of their paper work. Victor 1. Ross, lr Principal The secretaries at MHS are: SEATED: Olive Haydon, Lucille Ken- INC: Evelyn Engstrom, Phyllis Myers, Verna Smarsty Betty Olson dall, Helen Cieddling, Margurite Ross, Lucille Tompkins.
