The administration begin its work weeks before the official opening of the school year. They were faced with an unusual problem. For the first month or more, while the addition was being completed, a building which had held 350 students would have to hold approxi- mately 600. Then as the students gradually moved into the addition, complete reschedul- ing would be necessary. However, due to very careful administra- tive planning, classes continued quite normal- ly through this period. Even the transition to the new building was accomplished smoothly. The executive team was headed this year by Mr. Willard E. Ackley, supervising princi- pal. Although he is kept busy with regular duties, he finds time to take an extremely help- ful interest in all school activities. Under his direction chorus has become one of the school's most popular organizations. His conferences with students have aided many in planning for the future. Presiding over the functions of the Senior High School is the principal, Mr. John S. Peifer. Mr. Peifer also teaches solid geometry, trigo- nometry, and algebra II and III. As principal he is chiefly responsible for the efficiency which characterizes daily proceedings at our school. He has proven himself capable and sincere in maintaining top scholastic standards. Mr. Percy James, Junior High principal, is a newcomer to the high school building. He has greatly helped the junior high students in ad- justing to the changes of the new system, and continues as a fine leader for the younger members of the student body. Mr. Willard E.
