Faculty Is Always Dependable Important in the lives of the students are Murray's counselors. it seems that they are always busy helping students over rough spots or giving tests and helpful ad- vice on which college would be best suited to a particu- lar student. Everyone will fondly remember Mr. James Palmer and Miss Gladys Rose as willing and ready to help us with problems without hesitation whenever needed. Checking up on absent stu- dents is only one of the end- less duties of the office staff. Indispensable to the workings of Murray High School are Mrs. Betsy Barnes at left and Miss Ruth Trost. Those who find them- selves in need of medical atten- tion are sympathetically dealt with by Mrs. Viola Peterson, the school nurse. Working closely together in school matters are Mr. Leslie Tripp, principal, and Mr. Donald Simme- link, assistant principal. They are the coordinators of all school affairs. Their daily duties dealing with students keep them busy. ln spite of their crowded schedules, both find time to support Murray's athletic teams. Besides working closely together, they must keep in close contact with the teachers. They are respon- sible for maintaining the atmosphere ofa closely knit family among the faculty. Enjoying the showcase display are Mr. David Lam from Macalester College and Miss Carol Schielderup from the University of Minnesota. Mr. Lam aided Miss Paschke in her math classes and Miss Schielderup practiced teaching tech- niques in Mrs. Fisker's home economics classes. Mr. Donald Simensen taught senior social studies classes during Mr. Mather's absence.
