SECRETARIES TO THE PRINCIPAL Serving as assistant secretary to the principal is Mrs. Bobbie Posieher.

. ' 1 . X, ...is , X PRINCIPAL DONALD F. STONE The job of directing a bustling, ever-growing high school is a complicated one, beset by many problems. For the past five years, Principal Donald F. Stone has handled this job with the utmost efficiency and concern. He has tirelessly smoothed out difficulties, assumed responsibilities beyond the call of duty, and contributed in all ways he could to the creation of a modern, progressive West High. Mr. Stone's ambition for West is more student participation in school government. He pursues this goal constantly, as he has faith in the ability of the students to run their school conscientiously and well. Mr. Stone is sincerely interested in the individual student and is always willing and happy to help with a problem, be it large or small.

ff' REGISTRAR GLEN H. BRADFORD REGlSTRAR'S OFFICE Calmly handling a normally diffi- cult job made even more difficult by the rapid growth of West High's en- rollment is Mr. Glen Bradford, regis- trar. His are the prodigious tasks of scheduling classes to the satisfaction of both teachers and students, keep- ing complete and correct records for each student, and doing all the neces- sary statistical work for the school. He manages to accomplish all this with unruffled nerves and even finds time, somewhere between figuring and chart-making, to help a student plan his schedule, counsel someone with a problem, or just pass along a favorite joke. Mr. Bradford contributed toward our modern West by having key-punch and assorter machines, which greatly expedite record tabulation and office operation, installed in his office in 1951. West is the only high school in the nation to use this system.
