Three Staffs Maintained Facilities l v Miss Natkie accepts a call for Mr. Antrim, while Mrs. Frazee mimeographs a notice, and Miss Bern- hardt checks her shorthand notes. Nine capable workers are respon- sible for performing the secretarial, ianitorial and lunch room work. All the office work is accomplished by Miss Lydia Bernhart, Mr. An- trim's secretary, Miss Regina Nat- kie, Mr. Whitcomb's secretary, and Mrs. Gertrude Frazee, elementary school secretary. They take dicta- tion, issue late slips, mimeograph notices and are definitely an asset to Point Pleasant Beach High School.

Tempting noontime meals are pre- pared each day by Mrs. Ellen Rob- berts and Mrs. Gertrude Terhune, the cafeteria staff. A variety of menus are arranged by Mrs. Kath- erine Brandes fhome economics teacherl. Through the efforts of these staffs, Point High students work in an or- derly atmosphere.

Administration The administrative olficers of the school are charged with the responsibilities of directing the organization and administration of the school, and supervising the instruction. Schools are provided to serve the educa- tional needs of youth, all phases of the in- struction, the activity, and even the environ- ment of the school contribute to the complete influence the school exerts in the life of the child. Needless to say, all these influences should be continuously good. The ultimate goal of the school stafi-ad- ministrators and teachers working together democratically-is to reach each pupil, indi- vidually, and to meet his needs. Best results are obtained when the pupil, cooperating with the school stali, works to help himself and his schoolmates, thus actually sharing in the administration of the school. Cooperative action between Mr. Whitcomb and Mr. Antrim helps formulate the educational policy of the school. Here the administration makes arrange- ments for the school evaluation program.
