Curriculum Co-ordinator As the curriculum co-ordinator, Miss Grace Beck insures a balanced and com- plete program of education from kinder- garten through twelfth grade. As the director of elementary education, she visits classrooms, supplies substitute teachers, arranges teachers' meetings, and interviews prospective teachers. Her primary concern is the development and correlation of classroom instruction. Mr. Lewis Rovenolt, a sixth-grade teacher at the Hill School, con- sults with Miss Beck about improv- ing elementary English. Efficient Operation of Sunbury Schools Home and School Co-ordinator School Nurse In addition to teaching at junior high school on Fridays, Mrs. Rhoda Pass- more's position involves promoting a closer unity and a better understanding between the home and school. Organiz- ing a continuous census which would eventually eliminate the present annual census was a recent project undertaken by the home and school co-ordinator.

Cafeteria Provides Varied Meals The cafeteria system, a nonprofit organization, was adopted in Sunbury High School in 1959. Since that time methods have expanded, a more efficient staff has been developed, and the general variety and quality of meals have improved under Manager Mrs. Margaret Libby and Mrs. Virginia Carodiskey, the head cook and co-ordinator of cafeteria functions. If all lunches meet rigid requirements as to con- tent, costs for each student's meal can be supple- mented by a government reimbursement. All sanitary precautions, including clean apparel for the cooks and daily scrubbing of the entire cafeteria, are applied in the preparation and serving of food. P. T. A. Unites Parents and Teachers The theme upon which the Parent-Teacher Association based its 1961-62 programs was Our Challenges; Our Responsibilities. A successful year was achieved by outstanding co-operation among the more than 200 members. Through planned programs at monthly meetings, the P.T.A. attempts to promote a better under- standing between parents and teachers. The organi- zation also helps the school by donating money toward scholarship bonds and awards. OFFICERS: Mrs. Martha Neitz, treasurer; Mrs. Virginia Carodiskey, president; Mrs. Bette Rhoades, vice-president; and Mrs. Mary Valentine, secretary.
