Administrative Staff Enlarged The Peabody Administrative staff consisted of our princi- pal, Mr. Albert Jones and three assistants, Mrs. G. Faunt- leroy, Mr. J. Porach and Mr. N. Ramsey. Mr. Jones had the huge responsiblity of overseeing the entire educational pro- gram of the school, seeing parents and arranging schedules. Mrs. Fauntleroy worked with student activities, substitute teachers and curriculum; Mr. Porach assisted students with lockers, worked with the textbook rental program and assisted with discipline while Mr. Ramsey worked with assembly programs, the cafeteria staff, and assisted with dis- cipline. The job of directing meaningful activities for our scnool was tremendous. As principal, Mr. Jones, and the rest of the administrative staff, maintained a close relationship with the students, they became involved with individual stu- dents by listening to their personal problems as well as ren- dering advice on many matters. Although their jobs kept them busy, the administrative staff participated in clubs, activities, and classes. They worked with the Student Coun- cil and parents. In cooperation with the faculty, they worked to develop strong relationships with everyone at Peabody. Mrs. G. Fauntlerov, Asst. Prin. Mr. James Porach, Asst. Prin. 4
