student body funds, supervision of janitorial work, and the thousand other duties of CAEKULEA a big city high school office have gone smoothly forward. Truly, only the close co- operation of a thoroughly efficient administrative staff could accomplish such a feat. To Poly the office of the Counselors is an extremely important one, concerned as it is with the very heart of the school — the curriculum — and the guidance of students toward its best use for their needs. When Ernest P. Branson entered upon the position of Counselor in September, he brought to the office the unusual background of a research director and supervisor, a classroom teacher, and the father of a former Poly High student, ft was not. therefore, surprising that students found in him a real friend, perfectly fitted to aid them. Under his guidance an interesting piece of research was carried on in connection with experiments in reading. Working in close cooperation with the Counselor in guidance and giving attention also to the matter of testing, Miss Nellie Haddock, Assistant Counselor, had broad- ened and strengthened the friendly and helpful relations which in previous years have marked her contact with students. In the matter of social guidance and council, Poly is particularly favored to have James C. Peniwell in the office of Vice-Principal and Evelyn Lofland as Dean of Girls. During the past year boys and girls have eagerly sought their aid not only in matters of organization, planning, and carrying out of school activities, but in the solution of personal problems, in which so many students have need of sympathetic understa nding and aid. Poly has had a great and forward-looking year, thanks to the courage, wisdom, and unselfishness of her administrative staff and teaching force.
