ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS Assistant Principals Rearrange All Duties Visiting the office in the fall, students were surprised to discover that their longftime college counselor, Miss Mabel Allen, had replaced Mr. lames Mahoney as an assistant principal. This necesf sitated a reorganization of the other two assistant principals' duties as well as further responsibilities for Miss Allen. In addition to counseling future col' lege students, she acted as dean of girls, scheduled school activities, and planned College Night. Now dean of boys, Mr. Harry Pitt completed his second year as an assistant principal. Previously a biology teacher and wrestling coach, he supervised buildings and grounds, including cafeteria, library, and assembly procedures. In charge of curriculum and teaching materials, Mr. Alexander Anderson also composed the master schedule and directed the High School League, which sponsored the forensic contests. 4 5 ., .X ai ' if s.
