Clair E. Franklin Principal a4aaZ0,ee The humming activity created by 360 students was handled by several groups. To Principal Clair E. Franklin came the headaches of complete supervision in all aspects of curricular and extra-curricular activities. He had confabs with the seniors, checking credits and handing out counsel on jobs and colleges. When a parent had a question, Mr. Franklin had or found an answer. Straightening out disputes be- tween students was a delicate accomplish- ment. The whole school environment also came under his jurisdiction. Any mainten- ance worries were reported to his boss, Superintendent Montgomery. The man who untangled the strings in Helena A. Stark Secretary -199 B. Hunter Vice Principal Mr. Franklin's absence was Vice Principal Joe B. Hunter. Another title he earned was athletic director. In that line he labored long and hard as football and baseball coach. Boys' and occasionally girls' discip- line was a big worry for him. Mr. Hunter was the attendance officer, reporting to the state the absences and the reasons. The testing program, including development and aptitude tests, was assigned to him. Their secretary, Mrs. Stark, presided over the high school office. She ruled over the office practice girls, teaching them the fundamentals of efficient office work. In between times she took dictation, sent out correspondence, and did the typing.

Among the miscellaneous problems of the council were choosing song leaders, approving the social calendar, and pushing the sale of season tickets. Because of the increase in enrollment, the council voted to have the seventh and eighth grades elect their own publicity and social chairmen and plan their own social calendar. Every time the council appropri- ated money for a senior high dance, the junior high received an equal amount. Membership and interest were stimu- lated in the California Association of Stu- dent Councils by attendance at the district and regional meetings where kinks in the work of self-government were ironed out. One of the most profitable district meets was held at Needles March 6.
