Mr Lewis Pitzer, dean Of McQuilken Hall, discusses ' d s of the ring , ggsnmlfgillaxfh Ayleff Stone, An unseen student is the One of the main purposes of our school-within-a-school is to provide a closer rela- tionship between the faculty and students. This relationship is well-achieved by having different units of supervision under one main head. Our l2OO students are divided into three groups, each having its own teachers, administrative unit, and classrooms. The principal, Mr. Harold L. Secord, is responsible for the planning and execution of work in the three academic divisions, the library, and the main office. lt is his duty to see that these halls function smoothly not only individually but also as a whole. Nearly all of a student's contacts with the administration are made through the deans, Because a student is in the same hall throughout high school, he, his dean, the Guidance Counselor ond his teachers learn to know each other with the close- ness to be gained only in a small school. Brothers and sisters are placed in the same halls so that this familiarity is al- so extended to the family of the student. Through this plan the pupils of Patrick Henry obtain a greater sense of respon- sibility and cooperation. Not only do they uphold the standards of the entire school but also daisplay a remarkable loyalty to their respective halls. The challenge to do the best possible is prominent and ever demanding. This challenge is met by helpful reassurance from the entire administration, it is their desire above all to make of Patrick Henry the school it is intended to be. Already the results have proved that the closer relationship between faculty and students makes a better re- lationship between students and success, the coming day. recipient of the quizzical at Wg A nf, expression worn by Mr. Don- ,rV,,I,!,' I., ,5!3,,.f,-f ald Bartol, dean of Parsons ,g3v.5'f I-ian, V, L , if ia .A-'X an D1 an V, A ,ff f .ffl D ' .j,iMV,V'ijfifgfgf School Policies if 23 Mr. Benjamin Taylor, dean of Persinger Hall, plans what must be done during
