l I Miss Sheehan, Miss Weindorf. Miss Greiner, Miss Hartleh, substitute. Administration All organizations must have a department which controls and directs the rest. Here in school we call this department the administration and it not only controls and directs, but also gives at helping hand to all students in their problems. We never think specifically of the duties of the administration unless we are sent to the office, and then our thoughts are a little bitter. The principal, his assistants, and the office staff' do their Work so efficiently and direct the running of the school so smoothly that We are scarcely conscious of the immense job they so ably ac- complish. Tl1e only way to really comprehend its far-reaching work would be to picture our school, a community of varying interests, going its own Way without the guiding hand of the Hoificef' Think of the l50O pupils making out their I Nine schedules at random with a Wild hope that any of them would agree and that a teacher would, too. Imagine the cozy little classes of a hundred and fifty or so, working in rooms built to accom- modate thirty-five. Students would be walking in and out at all hours with no records of atten- dance. We could not Hnd the number of our credits because there would be no office files. Why, there vvouldn't even be anyone to lead our singing of American in auditorium! Yes, what would we do without our adminis- tration to guide us in doing things. We are lucky in having our Mr. Coon, Miss Connell, and Mr. Anderson to head our school, and Miss Weindorf, Miss Sheehan, and Miss Greiner to keep our records, handle clerical work, take care of our locker keys, and many, many other things.

1 Principal W. Edwin Coon A.B. Allegheny ' M.Ed. University of Pittsburgh Principal's Message F' S' Anderson The modern school is designed to care for the all-around development of its students. In it, the emphasis is placed on a healthy mind in a healthy body and the development of a proper attitude towards society. To this end our curriculum has been expanded. New departments have been added. Physical Education and Sports are taking prominent and important places in the every day life of the student. School doctors and nurses check the health of students. Furthermore, the school carnivals, musical comedies, Senior Class plays, dances sponsored by various organizations, concerts, clubs, and other activities tend to make one better able to appreciate the efforts of his fellows, and to develop a spirit of fair play and toleration for others. Of the greatest importance is one's mental development. Since the school is primarily a place to learn, we hope that you, Students of Strong Vincent High School, will acquire a strong foundation of facts and develop an ability to think clearly. The extent of this will depend on the ability, energy, and enthusiasm with which you do your tasks day by day. -Work that springs from the hearts desire, Setting the brain and the soul on fire-l' -W. E. Coon. A.B. Penn State M.Ed. University of Pittsburgh Boys' Adviserg Boys, Attendance Ofticerg School Treasurerg Faculty Manager-Football. Eight
