TUDE T PROGRAMS DEANS The welfare of the student body of Springfield High School hinges greatly on the work of our three deans: Miss Bundy, Dean of Girls, and Mr. Gwin and Mr. Petefish, associate Deans of Boys. These three important persons plan most of the programs of some six- teen hundred students. The two boys' study centers are directly supervised by Mr. Gwin and Mr. Petefish. Besides the main problem of making out pro- grams to please each student, the deans secure information concerning the requirements for the different col- leges and give all examinations which are required by certain colleges for en- trance. The deans also assist students with their individual problems and con- NO'S WATCH FUL EYE Twenty-one MISS DOROTHY BUNDY - DEAN OF GIRLS tact parents if a conference is neces- sary. Miss Bundy does not act as a study hall supervisor, but has numerous other duties. She is administrative assistant and co-ordinator of student activities. Under these large titles come such work as arranging for college days, P.T.A. programs, and being advisor for the Student Council as well as helping with class activities. The deans of boys also have some outside work in activities, with Mr. Petefish taking charge of the Rifle Club and Mr. Gwin piloting the Del- phics. Without these three very important individuals, the running of SHS would be difficult. Miss Hager Miss Lomelino TCgiar1aCIStaE Eizvgrl- Northwestern University, . .5 oum ia - .

The counselors build an accumulative record of each students progress from grade school through high school. These records are kept on tile for later use as char- acter references. Many recommendations and refer- ences for colleges and jobs are written by the counselor. Through the study hall school publications are sold, dona- tions are taken and announcements are made. Besides the general activity of the study hall, the counselors also act as chaperons for dances and notify stu- dents when jobs are available. lt is very easy to see that the study hall counselors make up an integral part of our school. irst .

With the school divided into four units this system gives the student the advantage ot a small school and allows him to be with one counselor for tour years and thus ob- tain the advantages that would come from counseling with someone who knows the students' record and needs. The girls have two study halls under the supervision of Miss Lomelino and Miss Hager and the boys have two study halls under Mr. Gwin and Mr. Pete- fish. The counselors help to plan out the student's program, so that he will have the necessary credits to graduate. They advise students with their indi- GIRLS STUDY UNDER Ml

NURSE AND CAFETERIA DI RECTRESS If you have ever become ill or hurt your- self, you have met Miss Southwick, the school nurse. She is always on hand to end your pains and sympathize with you. Each year Miss Southwick gives eye tests and stresses the importance of preventing dis- ease. Through her efforts the school has made use of the tubercular skin tests. The person responsible for the nutritious meals served in the school cafeteria is Miss Dev- lin, head of the cafeteria staff. The meals, besides being well planned, are low priced because of the help of the federal and state funds. Miss Aurelius Miss Robb Clerk Attendance Clerk Miss Devlin Cafeteria Directress THE STUDENT OFFICE IS ALWAYS BUSY lilllllilll STUDENT OFFICE Maybe they can tell you in room 2 is one of the most familiar phrases around SHS. It is in this office that all student needs and problems are taken care of by those two busy ladies, Miss Aurelius and Miss Robb. Miss Robb has charge of all attendance. It is she who checks all ex- cuses and sends out cut slips to those people who thought they wouldn't be missed. Miss Aurelius helps plan the schedule of classes for each semester and handles the candy counter. Between them they do the coun- ter work consisting of lost and found, tele- phoning, and tickets. When the nurse is not at school, they even bind up cuts and administer aspirin for headaches. The school post office system works through this office. The slips announcing meetings and request- ing services are delivered by office assistants each period. NURSE ARRIVES FOR DUTY Dorothy Southwick, R.N. Nurse Twenty-two
