MRS. FLORENCE EDDLEMAN MISS JANICE SESSIONS MRS. PEARL NELSON Mrs. Eddleman and Miss Sessions keep the main office running smoothly at all times. “Aspirin Department” Seldom recognized, but extremely important at Pensacola High School is the corps of workers who staff the main office. The combined efforts of Mrs. Florence Eddleman, Miss Janice Sessions, Mrs. Pearl Nelson, Mr. Charles Hardin, and their eight student assistants, insure smooth operation of the adminis- trative details of the school. There are many major office duties, each an outstanding job within itself. A school requires many detailed records not only of students currently enrolled but also of all graduates. Transcripts of grades and information concerning activities and discipline must be prepared and for- warded to colleges and employers. The office work- ers also handle all secretarial work for the principal and prepare county and state reports. CHARLES HARDIN [ 17 ]

Guidance Offered • • • This year the offices of discipline and guidance have been separated, and an in- dependent guidance center has been main- tained under the direction of Mrs. Lynelle Freeman. Mrs. Freeman, a native Floridian, attended Florida State University, majoring in guidance and graduating with an M.S. degree. Among her many educational affili- ations is membership in Alpha Delta Kappa and the American Personnel and Guidance Association. Under Mrs. Freeman's direction the guid- ance center has developed into a valuable center for personal counseling. A library of information on colleges and vocations, as well as over two-hundred career mono- graphs is in the center and are available to students. Here all scholarship informa- tion is received and distributed. Test inter- pretations aid students with educational and vocational planning. Mrs. Freeman and her assistants are ready to assist students with the many problems that face them as they plan their future careers. MR. JOHN NEWCOME Pennsylvania State College Davis and Elkins College, AB MRS. LYNELLE FREEMAN Florida State College for Women, BS Florida State University, MS If You Misbehave... Each morning in the attendance lobby is a familiar figure, Mr. John N. Newcome, ad- ministrative assistant to the principal. Mr. Newcome, certainly an asset to the admin- istrative faculy, is a native of West Virginia. He graduated from high school with an ath- letic scholarship to Pennsylvania State Col- lege, and following a tour of duty with the navy attended Davis and Elkins College, graduating with an A.B. degree. Mr. Newcome is in charge of all attend- ance and discipline. Each day he and his corps of assistants thoroughly check and record all absentees and review excuses for absenteeism. As discipline officer he inter- views offenders of school regulations and administers just punishments. His face, usual- ly stern and comanding, can break sudden- ly into a broad, fun-loving grin which re- veals a friendly nature. Mr. Newcome came to Pensacola High School three years ago from Gadsden, Alabama, where he held a position similar to that which he now holds. f 16 ]

Students Achieve Honors in Leadership The objectives of the National Honor Society are based on the four-fold development plan of char- acter, scholarship, leadership, and service, which is employed by similar chapters over the entire United States. To be eligible for membership a student must meet the following requirements: citizenship grades of G or S, participation in at least two school activi- ties, outstanding qualities of leadership and char- acter. Ten per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class are eligible for membership. Fund raising projects for this year have included the sale of book covers and ballpoint pens. As addi- tional projects of service the club has maintained the school bulletin board and awarded a scholarship to a member of the senior class who has demonstrated not only outstanding scholarship ability but also need. The Honor Society Award is made annually to a senior boy. Beischer, Vice-President; Bagley, Chaplain; Wehner, Secretary; Sharp, President; Peck Treasurer.
