BELOW: MARLYN ROTH Guidance Counselor. initiating school policies and activities Even as decisions are made by the school board, the re- sponsibility for putting them into effect lies entirely with the high school administration. Interested in aiding not only the student body but the entire community, the administration strives to create an interesting and useful prescribed course of study. Guiding the efforts of the capable administrative staff is Frederick C. Benfield. principal of Nazareth Senior High School. As principal, he acts as a diplomat both in com- municating the needs of the school to higher officials and in dealing with any difficulties arising between teachers and students, while adding a personal touch to his undertakings. In dealing mainly with disciplinary problems. Vice Princi- pal Adam Shekletski. second in command, is charged with reprimanding and penalizing students for any not- able infraction of the rules, and checking the validity of student excuses for absenteeism. In addition to divising a well-coordinated course of study, there is also a need for counseling students regarding what subjects should be taken and how special talents can be put to future use. Guidance counselors Robert Reichard and Marlyn Roth aid students with these prob- lems by administering special tests to determine aca- demic achievement and to discover for what vocation each student is best suited. They also assist students in acquiring employment and in selecting institutes in which to further their education. Student health, another concern for administrative per- sonnel. is watched closely by the school nurse. Geraldine Messina. Though various eye and ear tests administered by Mrs. Messina to all students, abnormalities can be found and corrected before any serious damage is done. Alleviating some of the pressures placed on the adminis- tration through their accurate typing, the issuing of late passes, and by making up absentee lists, as well as other services, is our clerical staff consisting of Laura Harding. Joyce Flowers, and Paula Wambold. ADAM E. SHEKLETSKI Vice Principal. 19 high school administration
