WHO ' S WHO AND WHERE OFFICE In order to acquaint our readers with who ' s who in Park ' s administration and faculty, we have composed this informal directory. As every school must have an execu- tive, we of Park also have that official in the person of our principal, Mr. Walter F. Hood. Mr. Hood, in his office on the first floor, is busily occupied with the myriad of people desiring his attention. At present he is completing his second year as the holder of Park ' s most responsible position. To aid Mr. Hood in manag- ing the school, Mr. A. B. Close, also with an office on the first floor, is our vice-principal. Every day finds him patiently listening to tardy students ' excuses. At the beginning of each semester, Mr. Close and Mr. Hood may be seen shifting pennies in order to prepare the necessary program cards. Without our indispensable office force, it would be impossible for our school to function smoothly. Miss LaMack, Mr. Hood ' s secretary, keeps the records and is in charge of the S. C. A. Sel ing supplies in the stock room is one of her tasks, too. Miss Rodigan is our home visitor, and she is responsible for attendance and excuse slips. She also has checked the seniors ' credits. Miss Benson, the office assistant, has many and varied tasks. The students become very atten- tive when the telephone rings in their room, for it ' s prob- ably Miss Benson asking so and so to come to the office.
