1. The management of a school system of 4,167 students, 213 teachers and 160 non-teaching personnel took the time and talent of Dr. John E. Roam, Rolla's Superintend- ent of Schools. 2. Principal Thomas Clay Carr and Assist- ant Principal Robert Ballenger administrated Rolla High School with 856 students. This year committees under their direction reorganized a number of teacher areas in accordance with the recommendations of the North Cen- tral Evaluating Committee. 3. In session the second Thurs- day of each month, the Rolla Board of Education acted as the Advisory Council to the administration of the school system.

Miss Maxine Henley, secretary to the board, kept school data at her fingertips. 5. Mrs. Marion Record, a secretary, assisted the three guidance counselors at RHS. 6. Mrs. Jean McFarland met the students and passed on their excuses for absences and tardies each school morn- ing. 7.

Where Extra Effort Makes the Difference Students with term paper problems naturally gravitated toward the Curric- ulum Center where a well-stocked library and reference material, as well as student and librarian guidance, sup- plied aid. Classes often researched projects there. During the afternoon hours, the school nurse gave scheduled shots and met emergencies. 1. Mrs. Jean Christeansen, librarian, checked that ever- with-us overdue book list. 2. Shots are her specialty! Mrs. June Harper prepared them for lucky students. 16 • Special Services
