Hartnell, Mr. Robert Bark, president, Mr. James Bonnell, nd Mr. Wines, district superintendent. Progress is synonomous with the 1973 Board of Trust- ees. After so many years of being housed in so many dif- ferent locations, the AUHSD offices are finally under one big roof-thanks to the 1973 Board of Trustees. On February 27, 1973, the Anaheim Union High School District Education Center was officially opened on Crescent Way near the Santa Ana Freeway. The Educa- tion Center was built in the old Fed Mart building under three acres of roof. For the first time in the history of the district, every department is now in one central location, making the communication better than ever before. The Center will house the Gilbert Continuation School, warehouses, instructional services, shops, graphic arts, business, purchasing and the three superintend- ents's offices. Heading the Board of Trustees was Mr. Robert Bark, president. His colleagues were Dr. Dean H. Pritchett, clerkg and Mr. John Barton, Mr. Edward M. Hartnell, and Mr. James P. Bonnell. These men were elected be- cause of their ability to responsibly take care of educa- tion in the secondary schools of the AUHSD. A determining factor in how well the school system is administered is the fact that the men of the adminis- tration and the Board of Trustees will follow through with every thing that comes before them. Something not every school system is endowed with. Being responsible for 30 students in a classroom is difficult, supervising about 2,500 students every day in the junior and senior high schools is much more exten- sive. However, being responsible for 16 junior high schools, nine high schools and one speciality school, which represented more than 40,000 students and over 1,000 faculty members, and more than 500 classified personnel has been a tremendous challenge. The Board of Trustees and the AUHSD administra- tion met this challenge. Administration 21

New Principal Named WHS Leader for 1972-73 Traditions at Western are many, but the one tradition most impor- tant was the high standards of ed- ucation. This tradition was kept this year by Westhi's new princi- pal Mr. Verne Horton. Along with Nlr. Horton, the assist- ant principals Mr. Anthony Ortega, lVlr. Herb Roesener, and Mr. Erland Eberhard all worked as a single unit to keep Western at its best. Another unit at Western were the counselors. The typical description of a coun- selor is a person who helps stu- dents plan for their future. But not so typical were Western's counselors, who did much more. They took interest in the students themselves and gave help in solv- ing their problems, whether it be at home, school, or elsewhere Another person who helped to make Western go places was Mr. Charles Costello, Westhi's Direc- tor of Activities. 4 Mr. Horton assumed his responsibilities ' .wL..st?.s :JT 3.12: H-,fm'flfwf' N5 f,.L ffl 3 lMflW W A 2 .f 2 . ,. . ., T fx? 7, ' -1 ' . - A ,S , f - 22.132 rif f ., ,A fv K , el-,lt ,V y ,Z f l f ,-V!
