Trier Administration Administrators Step Ahead in Improving School Facilities and Maintaining New Trier Scholastic Standing • While we are enjoying our summer vacation the administration staff is still working in full force. Their work is to see that everything in the school runs smoothly at all times. They prepare all pro- gram cards, they assign all lockers, prepare the daily bulletin and spe- cial bulletins, issue all driving per- mi ts, and complete the personal history cards which must be kept for each student. These and all the other duties which ordinarily fall upon the Registrar of a school, are cared for by Mr. H. H. Herron and his staff. With the aid of the boys on the Information Desk, the office staff makes it possible for any student to be contacted at any time during the day. Beside this they must see that every teacher receives all papers pertaining to his or her students. Besides those who are in charge of running the school, there are those who are in charge of the finance of the school, and of the opera- tion and maintenance of the plant as a whole. Mr. Brown has made ends meet for the school for many years without skimping upon the quantity or the quality of the school ' s equipment. He is aided in this to a great degree, by Mr. Biesemeier ' s excellent work MR. M. P. GAFFNEY in maintaining the equipment that the school already has. He is in charge of maintenance of the entire school plant. New to the school this year is Mr. M. P. Nelson. He has made several vocational sur- veys in past years. With his arrival at New Trier, a new service to our seniors was inaugurated. Every sen- ior, who wanted to find which voca- tions he or she was best suited to, was subjected to a series of tests. By studying the results of these tests, of various inquiries, and of personal conferences, Mr. Nelson is able to reach a conclusion. Little need be said of the achieve- ments of our school Superintendent, Mr. M. P. Gaffney. He has given eight years of incomparable service to New Trier. During these eight years the school has attained one of the highest scholastic ratings in the country. During all of these years, Mr. Gaffney has striven continuously to better the relations be- tween students and the faculty. Two others who aid New Trier immensely are Mrs. Alter, secretary to the superintendent, and Mrs. M. B. Arnold, secretary of the Board of Education. MR. KAHLER MISS PACKER MR. HERRON MR.
