MASTERS AT THE CONTROL Two educational doctors, Superintendent McEochen and Di- rector of Curriculum Bruning, diagnose a teacher ' s record. Principal Carl Ison and Vice-Principal Art Selves, as cap- tain and navigator, work to chart the course of S-M East. To keep S-M East running like clock-work, the administrators used their sincere interest in young people to maintain an even-balanced relationship in their association. Dr. Howard D. McEachen, the master at the controls, saw to it that each of his seven instruments was functioning accurately and that every part of each was doing its duty. The unbreakable mainspring in the East mechanism was Princi- pal Carl Ison upon whom fell the responsibility of direction and supervision of the entire operation. Mr. Art Selves, vice-principal, was the watch repairman. He checked for mis- sing parts and made sure that they fitted to- gether and worked co-operatively. Two guiding wheels were Miss Donna Adcock and Miss Pat Key, who were thorough in their movements, to the extent of checking each senior ' s re- cord, as well as advising other students on their educational and vocational plans. Dr. Bruning ' s service and dependability were un- matched as he moved behind the scenes, select- ing and checking teachers and texts. Each part revolved about and depended upon every other; thus, the staff and students ticked smooth- ly together in Accurate Arlington Time. Perusal of the college catalogue stimulates the counselors, Pat Key and Donna Adcock, to give convincing guidance. J 12

As thriving and bustling as a beehive, the office was in a constant hum of varied and interesting activity. Each worker had her own designated duties, but always took time out to be helpful and friendly to the some- times bewildered and befuddled, as well as the few demanding and determined people who streamed in and out of the office, each with his own special business to take care of. In one day the ladies handled hundreds of re- ports, forms, and records, and calmly counted and recounted all the money that went into the ever-changing budget. During the first week of school they carried a part of the already extra load that rested on the administrators ' and counselors ' shoulders, that of enrolling new students and sending them on their way through the maze of halls; they did it in an understanding and sincere manner that renewed confidence and calmed distraught nerves. This busy group of workers had a full-time project. You have an outside call in the office, announces Mrs. Lorraine Parson, operator in charge of the switchboard. NETWORK OF ACTIVITY Indispensable staff: Mrs. Ella Louise Walter, Mrs. Lorroine Parsons, Mrs. Jeannette Land, and Mrs. Moxine Forber. 13
