SINCE ONE OF THE ELEMENTS of o good high school is its odministrators, Mr. James L. Pugh, Tolleston's fourth principol within the post twenty-five years, has worked hord this year with Mr. Richard M. Carrabine, Assistant Principal, to make Tolleston School operate efficiently. Dr. Alden H. Blankenship, Superintendent of the Gory Public Schools, is in charge of over forty Gory schools. He is currently working on a plon which will relieve many of the overcrowded conditions now present in the Gory schools. According to Winston's DICTIONARY, o teacher is one who gives instructions to ond educates a pupil. Many Tolles- ton students have found that o teacher is also o friend, alwoys ready to offer advice ond helpful, constructive criticism. Tol- lestoh students ore proud ot their teachers and are thankful for the education which they hove gained through the teochers' efforts. The office secretaries perform mony tasks, thereby al- lowing administrators to devote their time and attention to the major school problems. The conclusion of the first semester creates additional work for Tolleston's guidance counselors. Schedules must be revised, grades for the one-semester courses recorded, appli- cations for college-bound seniors compiled, and progroms for the underclossmen made. As the twenty-fifth group of seniors graduate from Tolleston, the counselors must total units earned by each student, bring all folders and records up-to-date, and prepare for the beginning of a new school year. Students were, I suppose, even in 1937, just os tempted to take o one-doy unexcused vacation from school on a warm spring day os they are todoy. The thought of answering to Mr. Merlin 0 Belle, Pupil Personnel Director, ofter such a one-day absence, however, has kept most Tolleston students walking the stroight and narrow path. These people and their predecessors have kept Tolleston School functioning for the last quarter of a century and have helped prepare students to assume leadership of tomorrow's world. TION 27
