Wakefield s administrators are effective leaders. The faculty of any school depends upon effective leadership for success. Each administrative decision related to areas of instruction, personnel, disci- pline, pupil attendance, and or pupil welfare has some bearing on the success or failure of a given school activity. The faculty and student body are for- tunate in having as their top adminis- trator DR. HAROLD M. WILSON. Dr. Wilson, who completed his advanced graduate studies at George Washington University, began preparation for the opening of Wakefield while still Associ- ate Principal at Washington-Lee. It is felt by all that D. Wilson is a most com- petent person, whose calm manner, quiet approval, and honest interest in the personalities who make up the Wake- field staff tend to make of him an out- standing administrator. MR. RALPH KIER, our towering Dean of Boys, attended State Teachers, Indiana, Pa.; George Washington and the University of Virginia. Mr. Kier’s well dressed person is a familiar sight as he roams through the halls smiling happily at all good little boys.” MRS. MARY MARE, Dean of Girls and Keeper of the Tabs, was awarded her M. A. by Bucknell University and attended University of Michigan, Univer- sity of Pittsburgh and Columbia. Her sweet and motherly manner has won her the affection of many of the young- sters. DR. PATRICK MARTIN, the little man with the big voice, is Dean of Jun- ior High boys and Keeper of the Keys. Dr. Martin received his M. A. at Colum- bia Teachers and his Ed. D. at Columbia University.
