Dean and Secretaries Assist Students and School Andrews was very fortunate in its first year to have Mr. John Russell as dean. He proved to be invaluable in the fields of discipline and attendance, two of his main duties. Mr. Russell also served as a mediator in many students’ problems. Working with Mr. Burford, he accomplished much in the first, and perhaps the most important, year by establishing a firm foundation to be built on throughout the years of our school. Our secretaries, Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Leak, worked very hard all year to clear up the many problems of a new school. They had numerous duties to perform. Mrs. Freeman did mostly general secretar- ial work. Mrs. Leak handled the principal’s monthly reports, payrolls, finance, and bookkeeping. With their help Andrews progressed very much. Mrs. Vernell Leak proved invaluable in the financial aspect at T.W.A. 20 Mr. John Russell helped to establish a firm foundation in discipline and attendance. Mrs. Barbara Freeman helps clear up many of our school’s problems. ee

Guidance Counselors Lend a Helping Hand Mr. Robert Bowman carefully analyzes student records. Our guidance counselors, Mr. Bowman and Mr. Hipps, have proven to be of immense value to many Andrews’ students this year. They were always ready to listen and discuss any problems. Students were never afraid to talk to them because their information was invaluable in setting them on the right paths. Mr. Bowman and Mr. Hipps were never too busy to stop their work to help some puzzled student, whether it took five minutes or an hour. The guidance counselors guided students in deci- sions ranging from trivial questions to important problems, and they offered understanding and com- passion in all situations. They were in charge of several college admissions tests. They also helped students with registration for next year’s classes. 21 Mr. Herb Hipps’ help and friendship along with counseling are needed in troubled times. Mr. Bowman always ready to help students onto the right path.
