Like A University, Cnly Busier Do you wonder that visitors say of our school, Why, it's more like a big university! With hun- dreds of people trained to meet the needs of thou- sands of students, running the Phoenix Union High School system involves a never-ending routine. Every student has an accumulative record on file in the Registrars Office. This includes his grade school reports, information about his work in every class, his intelligence tests, comprehensive exam results, teachers' recommendations, his home ad- dress, and even his health record. lt's just like a savings bank, you build up a four-year account, and when you're a senior, you cash in on the benefits. Or, if you have accumulated a deficit, you get what you've earned! But the Registrar is also a counselor. He wants you to make a success of your school work, and he is willing to work long hours at straightening out schedules, shuffling students from one group to another to make everybody happier. l-le doesn't allow classes to get too overcrowded, he watches to see that if you are unusually clever at math you are placed in a fast-moving math class. lf you are not too bright in chemistry, perhaps you will find it easier in the group you are finally sent to join. Then, there are the deans' offices, where Boys' Federation and Girls' League activities center. Needy students must be helped, entertainment such as suit- able assemblies, dances, and banquets are planned, parents who dislike the way their children cut classes must be met and efforts made to straighten out lohnny or Mary. School might end at 5 p.m. for most teachers, but these problems are always with us! ln addition to the Superintendent's Office, where the switchboard, Lost and Pound, Post Office, and other departments center, the First Building houses the Warehouse, where thousands of articles are taken prior to delivery to different departments in the school system. Mr. Schwartz, in charge of the Ware- house, has on file something like 30,000 keys be- longing to doors, closets, and cupboards in the Phoenix schools! The Bookstore is located across the hall from the Warehouse. Under the direction of Mr. Laur, both new and used books are handled for the convenience of students. lf you take good care of your books, you can turn 'em in for hard cash at the end of the term. You may also buy other good used books next fall when your need is great and your funds are low. Many of our students do not understand that most of our administrators have jobs in the school system that take them from one campus to another. Mr. Bargman, for example, handles purchases and busi- ness contracts for all of the schools directly supers vised by Superintendent Montgomery. These include Phoenix Union, North Phoenix, the Colored High, Vocational School, and lunior College. SUPT. MONTGOMERY is usually busy at his desk, Deans Rosenberry and Stone always have time for a smile, Business Manager Bargman has a nice smile, tool 1217 sun. Dum...
