DEAN lscah Mateer and Dean Ciitiord I. Prather have had more than their share of problems in guiding activities oi 3500 boys and girls. But they have done an excellent iob and won many new friends. THEY ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY HOW WOULD YOU like to have 3500 children? The old Woman who lived in a shoe Was a piker compared to our teachers, who must take over the responsibility for the mass of young people en- rolled at Phoenix Union High School. ln these busy times, teachers often spend more time With students than the latter spend with their own families. So it is that much training and superior personal qualities are requisite to teaching in a modern high school, YOUNG, PERSONABLE deans have much to do with the success of our school. Guiding the girls' organizations as adviser is Dean lscah Mateer, who is ever alert to problems that arise to plague her young charges. She has the girls' confidence and has won their love and admiration. Dean Clifford T. Prather knows how to deal with boys.
