Here a complicated school curriculum must he fitted into a Weekly time schedule which will permit forty different school subjects, forty-three club activities, and a highly varied program of music, dramatic, and sports events to run side by side on our school tracks Without colliding. in order to coordinate all parts of this com- plex school program, much time is spent in conferring with the students and teachers, in, furthering guidance Work, in checking atten- dance, and in handling the numerous activity funds. These important matters are cleared with the very ahie assistance of various staff mem- hers.
