Discipline Creates Large Problems Since this is Mr. Blessing's second year as PHS principal, he is more aware of prob- lems that can occur. Some of the prob- lems occurring are disciplining, schedul- ing and keeping good relations with stu- dents and teachers, but Mr. Blessing is looking on the bright side of PHS for the moment at least. Handling discipline, according to Mr. Blessing, was his biggest re- sponsibility as principal. He stat- ed, “Working with teachers in pro- viding the best curriculum for stu- dents,” was his goal along with su- pervising the kids. He also sug- gested that kids get involved in setting the rules. “If they had a part in making them, they might abide by them better,” he said. Working busily alongside Mr. Blessing was Mrs. Grosse, school secretary. Among her many jobs were tabulating grades and atten- dance and keeping track of money and lunch tickets. “I like the kids,” was her response to what she enjoyed most about her job. Helping in the office during noon and taking care of eighth hours are some of Wej| ;t’8 not 9 to 5 or Dollv either, but it is 8 to 4 and Mrs. Grosse, the school secretary, the things that keep Mrs. Ball busy. Starting the day early to prepare lunch by 11:00 are Mrs. Bain. Mrs. Went- worth, and Mrs. Wilson. Fixing the vacuum cleaner are custodians Mr. Stucky and Mr. Wentworth. They’ve been helped by various part-time custodians with cleaning. Getting the kids to school safely and on time are Mrs. Newfield, Mrs. Burke, Mr. Helmer, and Mr. and Mrs. Graham. 23

Burns Problem Occupies BOE Minds Problems with the Elementary Building at Burns occupied the minds of the Board of Educa- tion for the majority of the school year which meant that less pressing matters such as re- placements for the windows and doors at the high school had to be tabled for the time being. This gave Superinten- dent Norris Wika his first ma- jor assignment at District 398. “On the Road Again” should’ve been Dr. Wika’s theme song as he traveled in and out of the district centers giving them his personal attention. Filing the important papers is part of the job of Vicki Cook, central office sec- retary and treasurer of the board. • Pictured below at one of his few quiet mo- ments, Dr. Norris Wika works on the endless paperwork involved with being a superinten- dent. Dr. Wika received his Doctor of Educa- tion Degree from the University of Nebraska in May, 1976. He was principal at Santa Fe Middle School in Newton for the three years before coming to Peabody. BOARD OF EDUCATION PICTURED ABOVE: Row 1: Don Lemley, John Balthrop- president, Jean Maples. Row 2: Virgil Clark, John Berns, J.D. Gaines, Robert Morgan. Even with a sling, Muriel Wolfers- perger, below, performed her duties as clerk of the board and central office sec- retary.
