X, 7 - X Qqgx lf, Faculty Teaching requires a special kind of person one who is dedicated to his profession and has the ability to X ff 1 f awaken the curosity of students and to stimulate youngx minds. South Side High School was most fortunate to have many faculty members who not only met, but even surpassed these demanding standards. The over 130 faculty members of the Kelly teaching staff, leaders in both the educational world and Fort Wayne com- munity, used their diversified abilities to help increase the educational opportunities available in the class- rooms. Likewise, Archer students will always remem- ber their teachers for their work in extracurricular activities and for serving as chaperones at school dances and on bus trips. During the year, however, faculty members did find time to relax from their busy schedules. Early in Sep- tember, teachers and their families met for the Faculty Picnic. Through the long fall term, they aroused spirit at their famous Tuesday night bowling sessions and then all met again at the Christmas Party and Boiler Room Party during semester break. The Quarter-Cen- tury Banquet in May was the last formal gathering before the long-anticipated Faculty Breakfast celebra- ting the end of another school year. South Side's success in 1967 and the reports of the untold successes of former Archer students remained as the highest tribute to all the teachers. Their influence did not end in the classroom, nor even at the end of the school year. 'X A 7 .Q x .-1- X 1 fl i x li ,f A X . y if J X X! I .. f' 1 XX

South Side is fortunate to have able leaders who never cease in their hope for a more outstanding school. It is the complex duty of Principal Jack E. Weicker to oversee the workings of 2,200 people. His four years in this capacity have made him a familiar figure in school, at banquets and dances, and in the community. Former Dean of Students Richard E. Block this year stepped up to the position of assistant principal. He continues his job of counseling college-bound students, planning their scholastic events, and conducting in- terviews with the student body. Two guidance counselors serve Archer students as deans of girls and boys, separately. Miss Pauline Van Gorder, dean of girls, has the task of advising all Kellys in matters such as conduct and dress, as well as ar- ranging the many extra-curricular activities and dances. Mr. Ralph Boling became the new dean of boys last fall. His duties consist of assisting Mr. Block with his work. Guidance Co-o-rdinator Mr. Sam Jackson's job is to help plan careers and courses for those students who seek vocational work. In accordance with him, Mrs. Mary Smith and Mr. Wayne Scott serve as guidance counselors to the Sophomore Class.
