Office Help Provide the Backbone of Our School MIKE HORNE LESTER HORN Business Manager Counselor An increasing number of students was the greatest problem for the school board this year. At present they arc concerned with building an elementary school on highway 101 to alleviate the shortage of classroom space, m the near future, they decided, improvements will be made on the high school athletic field and a new parking lot will be added. Due to the recent concern over science in American schools, the school board also devoted time to discussing the science program in the high school. The school board also discussed merit salary', which would give a higher salary to teachers who arc better qualified. Mr. Lester Horn serves as a guiding light to those who encounter difficulty in planning their curriculum. If you were at all interested in your future he was the man to see. Besides supplying you with books and pamphlets, lie was willing to help students get a better idea of what they want to do after graduation. The business end of the high school is one of the most complicated jobs. A daily concern of this staff is making the debits equal the credits. Doing most of the worrying is Mike Horne, business manager, who is assisted by his secretary Miss Violet Holden, who is also a member of the school board and our bookkeeper.
