Sys One might well wonder how approximately twelve hundred students and sixty faculty members can trav- el in and out ofseven buildings all day long, live days a week, and still maintain the degree of organization necessary for effective fulfillment of their educational purpose. llllicient administration is the only answer to this problem. Superintendent of schools, Mr. Wendell T. Phipps, almzw, is assisted in his administrative duties by the school board, left, which is under the chair- manship of Dr. Harry Worley. Also essential to effective organization is Principal W'illiam E. Gurney, zzbozta, whose quiet cheerfulness, interest and ability to coordinate the more detailed operation of his administrative divisions requires great skill. ln his second year as Vice Principal Mr. Patrick Hayden, top, jkzr Itjft, provides counseling as well as administrative services.
