SUPT. D. F. WINTERS, above, who has guided the destiny of Oak Lawn Community High School since its opening in 1952, is the person directly responsible for the overall operation of the school program, His duties include handling a host of administrative decisions, hiring personnel, and conducting the school's affairs with the county and state educational offices. In addition, he deals directly with the Board of Educa- tion in a variety of administrative matters, such as planning the budget, planning the curriculum, the setting up the school calendar. In short, the results of Mr. Winter's wise counsel are evident in all the many phases of our school's opera- tion. MR, B. E. WETZEL, below, the assistant superintendent, is the man behind a great many of the important day- by-day decisions necessary for the smooth operation of the school. It is he who supervises the thousand -and-one details which are invariably a part of the complex school pro- gram. Scheduling of classes, arranging for locker assignments, preparing student's permanent records, keeping finan- cial records, purchasing books and supplies--these are but a few of the many jobs which must be done well if the school is to serve its purposes efficiently. In Mr. Wetzel we have a friend whose willingness to help and patience make the road a lot smoother for all of us.
