Mr. Thomas Reniinsnyder Mr. Sheldon Riggs GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT-The guidance depart- ment is concerned with the study, understanding, and adjustment of each student. It seeks to assist each stu- dent in his fullest possible development. Guidance in the junior high school aids the stu- dent to become aware of his own abilities, interests, and aptitudes and helps him to begin to make educa- tional and vocational Choices. In the senior high school, the emphasis is on place- ment. The student makes definite plans for continu- ing his education or for entering a vocation. The re- sponsibility l'or guidance is shared by all those who come in contact with the student. Mrs. Susie Riddlespurger

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF-Mr. Burgess, our ami- able Vice Principal is one of the mainstays of our Administrative Staff. His duties, aside from general administration in the absence of the principal are bus transportation. athletic events, and supervisor of of the school plant. His fine work has eased much of the burden on our principal and has facilitated the running of our school. Our competent and capable Administrative As- sistant, Mrs. Williams, is the second of our three co- ordinators. Her jobs are the checking of school and classroom attendance, maintenance of school supplies, and the hiring ol' substitutes for teachers. These re- sponsibilities which are performed faithfully every day serve to pave the way for smooth operation. Last, but certainly not the least, is Mr. Wheeler the teacherbin-charge of the Perry Hall Annex. His work consists of running the school in coordination with Parkville's seventh grade curriculum, as well as teaching math-science and physical education. With his help and concentrated efforts, he has helped make the annex a well organized part of the school. Mrs. Lorraine Williams in .
