School Board Mr. Harvey Tucker, assistant principal at Peoria High School, always seemed to have extra time for a student's problems and wor- ries. His job throughout the year in- cluded paperwork and planning duties required in all administra- tive work. Mr. Tucker also had charge of the many disciplinary re- sponsibilities of a high school. His work demanded long hours and gentle diplomacy, but Peoria High School students seldom saw Mr. Tucker without a smile lighting his face. Miss Florence Poshard was the Dean of Girls at P.H.S. She was kept busy enforcing administration policies, working out honor roll lists, and counseling girls. She supervised commencement exercises and practiced the processional with seniors. Girls wishing to leave school during the day because of illness were dismissed by Miss Poshard. Diligently and unceasingly, she at- tended to the myriad problems of a public high school.

The board and its chairman, Dr. Bills, met twice a month. The members also reviewed such items as needed buildings and classroom materials, teachers' salaries, and budgets for the school year. The board worked for a competently administered school system for the Peoria area. Faculty Page 19

ur Central Nervous System ls the Administration Teachers and the administrative staff act as the central nervous system of Peoria High. Teachers direct the con- scious minds of students, while the busi- ness staff devotes its time to unconscious details also important in each student's school life. Office workers assisted the principal, took daily attendance, and kept records of the students. Admit forms, locker in- formation, and the daily bulletin were all duties carried out by the business staff.
