Dean of Boys Mr. Clark youmans Dean of Girls Miss Sarah Fishkr I popped into Mr. Youmans’ office and immedi- ately was lost in the swirl of activities which sur- round him. After collecting my poor little self and snatching up a pencil. I began writing as fast as I could while he narrated his numerous responsibili- ties to me. Mr. Youmans is assistant principal as well as dean of boys, which involves being at- tendance officer and disciplinarian, besides numer- ous sideline duties. He is a member of the assem- bly. guidance and defense committees, and also sponsor of the four class honorarics! Can you keep up with him? I certainly couldn't, so I trucked on out, reflecting that U. H. S. is certainly lucky to have such an energetic man as one of the pillars in its foundation. One morning I found myself in the wastebas- ket of the dean of girls. Miss Fisher. From there I could sec girls coming in and out to get tardy and absentee excuses. They also came in for private conferences and Miss Fisher helped them with such problems as getting clothing, securing jobs, or de- ciding on a vocation. When Miss Fisher discovered me I asked her what her other duties were. She told me that she taught shorthand and secretarial training, had a senior home room, and was sponsor of S. K. I nearly fell back into the wastebasket! I don’t think I’ll ever forget Miss Fisher’s radi- ant personality, which made me feel that every girl at U. H. S. had in her a real friend. 7

Pnincifud and jbeanl Principal Stanley B. Hadden OjJjice. BecSvetaAy. SECRETARY RUTH NOBLE Pushing papers aside, I settled down upon Mr. Hadden’s desk to enjoy a nap. The industry of the office staff had made me tired: ’cause I'd been tramping around to discover all the things they do. The friendly principal. Mr. Hadden, has a round of duties that includes writing letters of recommendation, bookkeeping, making out the school calendar, as well as students’ schedules, and getting basketball tournament tickets, and the like. Typing letters, making up attendance lists, and the first hour announcements, office and teachers’ mimeographing, and keeping the student cumula- tive records up-to-date are a few responsibilities of Ruth Noble, the genial office secretary. She is assisted by the student office helpers. Now does anyone doubt that we have an active and efficient office staff? 6
