ADMINISTRATION Busy administration is making future plans Working with the board of education to help keep the school system a progressive one. was Superintendent Mr. Carlton Lytle. Insuring each Richfield student the finest education possible kept Mr. Lytle busy throughout the year. The responsibility of revising the curriculum and utilizing new and effective teaching methods, fell into the hands of Mr. Harold Rasmussen. Not only did he constantly update our curriculum, but he also had to draw up the budget within which the school board had to work. Principal, Mr. Clair Bartosh, communicated daily between the school system's three most important bodies, the District Administration, the faculty and the students. Assistant principals Mr. Gene Olive and Mr. Alfred Krinke had the unpleasant task of solving discipline problems in the school. Trying to foresee the future for Richfield is a task that keeps Mr. Rasmussen on his toes. RICHFIELD BOARD OF EDUCATION—Standing: D Erick-ton. M. Ersparner. R. Wagner, R. Gunderson, R. Carlson. Sitting: R. Everson. C. Lytle. 18

OFFICE STAFF. COUNSELORS Assisting RHS students is a never-ending job This year an important change was made in the distribution of students among the counselors. With the institution of the vertical system, each counselor was assigned certain letters of the alphabet, and then worked with these students during all three years of school. They feel this method is more effective and allows better concentration on individuals. Along with this change was the return of Mr. Boyd, raising the counseling staff to eight. Their duties ranged from changing programs to helping with complex college questions, but purely academic topics were not their only concern. Very often students took important personal problems to their counselor, and were glad there was somebody they could talk to besides their parents. All the busy work our school accumulated was handled by the efficient office staff. They assisted the Administration, and performed many behind the scenes tasks. Preparing the daily bulletin, and dealing with the cumulative records of the students were included in their job. Rending an announcement over the P.A.. without lauahing is hard for Marie Flanders. Peter Opsal. and Cindy Ahlman. Attendance officer, Mr. Stoesz, keeps track of students who forget to show up at school. Tho efficient ladio on the office staff are, Standing: R. Olmom, Y. McAvoy, M.
