With kind anal understanding patience he listens to stu- dent's problems, and offers his help whenever he can. Although many unpleasant duties fall upon his shoulders during the course of a year, he handles them all with efficiency and never fail- ing kindness. Two other staff members who per- form administrative functions are Mrs. Conant, and Miss Clemens, respectively the guidance in- structor and school nurse. Mrs, Conant serves the students by testing their aptitudes, acting as their educational adviser, and assisting them in their search for jobs. To Miss Clemens falls the job of maintaining student health, The special departments of music, speech, art, and library provide students with many opportun- ities for a well-rounded education.

In the Monroe Physical Education Department each freshman and sophomore is given thorough instruction in hygiene and systematic exercise. The physical training program includes sports, contests, games, exercises, and apparatus stunts. In addition to teaching the boys' gymnasium classes, Mr. Zucco is the head coach of football, hockey, and track. Basketball, golf, and tennis are coached by Mr. Wallblom. Miss Haskell, who teaches the girls' physical education classes, is faculty adviser of the G.A.A. The aims of the English teachers are two-fold: To give students a knowledge of the best that has been thought and said in the world, and to teach them to express adequately their own ideas. Seniors who are planning to go to college were prepared this year by Miss Steffanus in college preparatory English. Miss Myers advised the school paper, and Miss Cook and Miss Kloet as- sisted with the literary work on the Doctrine. Other members of this year's English staff were Mrs. Logman, Miss Korfhage, and Mr. Powderly.
