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

Mrs. Emma Seely Head Librarian Recommending And Shelving Books Keeps Librarians Busy Throughout The Day Southeast's library opened in September. 1957. with approximately 5.000 books on the shelves. Five large bulletin boards on the north wall four of which were later replaced by shelving helped decorate the large reading room. But through the years this room became increasingly inadequate and shelving had to be added in the place of tables. Toda the library possesses 33.900 hooks and has add- ed recordings, tapes, and paperback books. In addition to the large reading room, there is a reference area, class- room. magazine area, workroom, and office. Plans are now in process for building a new library in the courtyard to serve as an Instructional Materials Cen- ter. It will include such items as individual study carrels, film and overhead projectors, and microfilm readers.
