Stajj' jjficers In Command EDWIN M. BETTS University of Virginia B.S., M.Ed. Mr. Betts has asked, For whom does the school work? The teachers with the students work to provide the students with a broad background for the future. Therefore, he stated that he will devote extra time to something that is advantageous to the students. The newly established book rental system has been one of the primary functions of our assistant principal. He believes that it enables the school to distribute textbooks to every student in an orderly fashion. The advent of this program and the expeditious way with which it was carried out significantly reduced the amount of lost time in the first weeks of school. Another benefit is the sub- stantial saving of money to the student-one half the cost of buying books. This past spring Mr. Betts was honored by being elected president of the Virginia Education Association. This year, as president-elect, he will be an observer, getting ready to assume his presidential duties. It will, he stated, be a challenge, and it points to an exciting future. I, as a person, will grow with the con- tact of new people and ideas. RUSSELL B. GILL College of William and Mary University of Virginia B.A., M.A. Petersburg High School, says our principal Mr. Gill, is a comprehensive high school whose purpose is to provide for the interests and needs of all pupils. Our school program projects in many directions-cur- riculum, activities, and athletics. We have a responsi- bility to prepare students who wish to attend college or prepare for jobs. This is the reason such courses as English 9, advanced biology, and the vocational courses. Activities are one facet of a comprehensive high school. The Missile and Review are learning things which give experience in journalism. A new activity is forensics which was added because there are students who want and ought to have this activity. Along with other profitable experiences, athletics have grown with the school. Mr. Gill says, We have struggled hard for great things, and this struggle has led us to be the best in publications and athletics. Guidance is another important factor in a balanced high school. Our grade counselors are ever seeking to improve their guidance to provide help in the selection of courses, in preparation for jobs, and in choosing the right college. The educational television, which is used in science and history classes, is also used in teacher training, and will be expanded in the future. Mr. Gill feels ETV is a substantial help as a teaching aid. Just like lawyers and doctors, teachers must keep up with the trends in edu- cation. PHS is mindful of this and is taking advantage o it.' The administration has taken passage to go on the voyage to the future and definitely has a forward look by seeking constantly every means to keep PHS in pace with the high standards that are so necessary in this age.
