MR. O. J. BUDO BS M Ed Vice Principal MR. JOHN GASPER 8 S . M Ed Assistant Principal Combined Effort Of Administrative Team And Dedicated Coordinating school activities is a major responsibility of Assistant principal John Gasper Mr. O. J. Budd. vice-principal, was a counselor and assist- ant principal at East High School before coming to Southeast in 1957. Also known as the office manager, he supervises new teachers' activities and organizes the office staff. In the past much of Mr. Budd's time was spent in schedul- ing students' classes, but with the use of the IBM schedule cards he can turn his attention to more important office mat- ters and schedule conflicts. Mr. Budd feels that the IBM machines offer great advantages to the office personnel, be- sides saving them a great amount of time. Schedule changes do take longer to process using the machines, but there arc fewer of them occurring. The confusion during the first days of school was reduced because the machines eliminated class cards that students filled out and most of the schedule changes that kept the guidance center full. Assistant principal Mr. John Gasper returned to Southeast from the University of Wyoming after year’s leave of absence where he earned the necessary hours for his doctorate de- gree. He is presently fulfilling the last requirements toward his degree. Before coming to Southeast in 1959 he was a coach and principal at Arkansas Avenue School. Mr. Gasper works closely with the students in their club activities, elections, scheduling extra-curricular activities, and disciplinary problems. He has been kept especially busy since the activity tickets were introduced in 1964. Every morning he informs the students of the news of the day and activities to come as he reads the morning bulletin. 10

A Message From Dr. Addis An increase from 237 students in the first graduating class of 1958 to an anticipated 727 in 1967 reveals the tremendous growth during the past decade at Southeast High School. But neither numbers nor buildings without other necessary ingredients make a school great. Southeast's success is due to a responsible Board of Education, a well-trained and conscientious faculty, students with seriousness of purpose, and a curriculum which meets the needs of each student. Experimentation with new courses, team teaching, and special groupings of students, which provide for the acadcmicallv- talented as well as the slow learner, have all highlighted the past ten years. Cordially. 9 Fred G. Addis. Principal
