Organization of the Administration and Supervision in the Rockford Senior High School FTIQN times it is necessary for the advisors to interview the parents concerning the curricular and subject problems of the students, They are in charge of all class activi- ties of their respective groups and must supervise the planning of the assembly pro- grams assigned to their particular study hall. Acting as the guides of the home room teachers the advisors help to see each boy and girl entirely through high school. Their in- terest in the pupils does not end with graduation but extends even further. for they help graduates choose their colleges and even obtain positions in the business world. Another important position in the plan of organization is filled by the department heads who are appointed by and are responsible to the principal. They must cooperate with the teachers in their departments by setting up objective standards of achievement and testing for progress. The actual work of preparing and putting into effect the courses of study and the recommendations of text-books for adoption is left to them. The teacher is the responsible agent for the direct instruction of the pupils in the class room and is under the guidance of the department heads and the principal. It is through the teacher that a closer relationship is established between the home and school in order to promote the interests of more efficient instruction. His most important duty is to teach the pupils what has been laid out in the course of study. but he also keeps records. collects data, conducts researches, and makes suggestions for the improvement of educational and physical conditions. Thus the principal. through the assistant principal, dean of girls, advisors. and through the department heads and the teachers, promotes the efficiency and cooperation of all the branches of the work of the school.

Organization of the Administration and Supervision in the Rockford Senior High School HE chief executive of the high school and the wheel about which all its activity moves is the principal. lt is he, who with the help of the assistant principal, the dean of girls, the advisors. and the department heads puts into operation the courses of study. As a part of this work methods of instruction must be determined and standards of achievement established. The principal and his aides supervise all curricular and extra- curricular activities and direct the efforts of all persons employed by the school. lt is the duty of the chief executive to see that general policies as recommended by the superin- tendent are carried out and to make periodically a detailed report upon the physical and social conditions within the school, The duties of the assistant principal center upon the routine activities of the school. Under his jurisdiction are the preparation of the teachers' programs and the organization of classes at the beginning of each semester. He manages athletic activities and their finances and supervises the handling of the free text-hooks. To him also go the special cases of discipline and the checking on attendance of the boys. On a par with the assistant principal is the dean of girls, the advisor of the social activities of our school. lt is left to her to arrange for the chaperonage of school parties and to keep the social calendar of dates and places for all club meetings. Then, as her title sug- gests, she acts as the general center of appeal and advice to the girls as well as checker on their attendance. Aside from her administrative duties the dean of girls teaches two classes and advises the Student Council. Upon the advisors' heads is the direct responsibility of seeing that each pupil is brought into contact with the courses which best suit and develop his abilities. . - - V W., - . , -QV , M ' W' V Q..-Lfi liqz A lfssi res., HW -, M A 4, .- .,- w .3 ' ., ,Q,Ys.. 3g-!
