VICE-PRINCIPALS Miss Lucile Vance Girl ' s Vice-Principal One role of Administration in a secondary school is to provide an educational environment in which each student may achieve his potential capacity. The office of the vice-principal affords an opportunity to assist teachers, students, and other staff members in the development of such an environment. Students must meet established codes of behavior and pursue their studies in an industrious manner as a part of this environment. The ultimate goal is to have each student attain a high level of self-discipline in the pursuit of learning. Mr. Marvin Borden Boy ' s Vice-Principal Would you believe — That the boy ' s Vice-Principal ' s office is dedicated to providing the finest Educational Environment possible. Would you Believe — That the Vice Principal is frequently assigned to give references for present and former students and that the good or poor records made in High School stay with you.

To find opportunities for developing his abilities and interests, and for meeting his needs ; 3. To face and accept without defeat those realities over which he has limited, or no control ; 4.

At Jefferson each student meets with his grade advisor each semester to make a program for the follow- ing semester and review his educational plans. Grade advisors may not be able to confer with students as often as they, the students, would like. Students or parents are urged to make an appointment for a conference with any member of the staff whenever it seems desirable.
