And because students remain in the same hall throughout high school at Patrick Henry, they get to know their deans with a closeness that is desirable. Each of the deans is the head ot his hall, and carries out about the same administrative duties as a principal in a small school. Mr. Lewis Pitzer is dean of Mc- Quilken Hall, Mr. Donald Bartol, ot Parsons Hall, and Mr. Benjamin Taylor, of Persinger Hall. All three of these men have much experi- ence in the field of education- both as classroom teachers and school administrators. These deans run their halls as a team in friendly hall competition. Each dean gets to know the stu- dents in his hall very well and be- comes acquainted with the indivi- dual student's special problems and needs, which allows tor a close student-dean relationship. lO aper 1
