Principal and Main.0ifice Staff MR. ROBERT PERZ, Principal Just what is our school's principal like? We see the faculty in the classroom every day, but we do not know so well theman who is in charge of this school. Mr. Robert Perz, our chief of staff, is that tall fellow who emerges from his cubicle in the main office. Upon this man's shoulders rests the responsibility for a well run Springfield High School. Mr. Perz, Miss Atkins, the recording secretary, and Miss Davis, the corresponding secretary, constitute the personnel of the main office. We wish to acknowledge their efforts to be helpful and fear fe all those who need help. ' R This is Mr. Perz' first year as principal, but for the three previous years the students have known him as the assistant principal. The class of '52 would like to claim Mr, Perz as one of its own, for he came to Springfield at the same time that the present senior class entered high school. Congratulations, Mr. Perz, for being an honorary member of the class of June, l952l Four Margaret Davis Corresponding Secretary Edna Atkins Secretary

Assistant Principal and Counselors MR. GENE LEDERER COUNSELORS There are four study centers in Springfield High School, two for the boys and two for the girls. Miss Hager and Miss Johnson supervise the girlsg Mr. Petefish and Mr. Rankin supervise the boys. The counselors assist the students with prob- lems of good study habits, choosing a vocation, a col- lege career, and getting along with others. They help establish a better un- derstanding between par- ent and teachers by ar- ranging interviews. Stu- dents who are in danger of failing are given special attention and help to im- prove their study habits. The counselors also advise them as to the kind of program which is best suited for their own abili- ties. Mr. Lederer's room has a well-worn doorway and the students passing in and out seem to always have the same familiar faces. Our Assistant Principal, Mr, Led- erer, is that understanding person on whose shoulders falls the responsibility of punishing wrong and stressing right: His tact and patience have made the students respect and like him, We know that Mr. Lederer has a difficult job to do, but it is a job that is essential to a well run school. Mr. Charles Petefish, Miss Ruth Johnson, Miss Louise Hager, Mr, Donald Rankin Five
