CARDINAL « AND WHITE Director of Adult Education DO YOU realize that Whittier High School has an adult at- tendance at our night schools totaling nearly twelve hundred men and women and taught by twenty-eight teachers? These night schools are located at Los Nietos, Murphy Ranch, West Whittier, Guirado Road, and at Whittier Union High School. Mr. Phelps, director of adult education, is responsible for the supervision and the achievements of these adult schools. In addition to his many duties as director of adult learning, Mr. Phelps also serves as chairman of the Service Points Committee, as a Junior Class advisor, a member of the Scholarship Committee, and puts in full time teaching Mechani- cal Drawing. Director of Boys Activities THE POSITION of Director of I Boy ' s Activities is an important one in our high school. The time and energy of our popular mem- ber of the faculty, Mr. Earl H. Chapman, is very much engaged in the management of the three major boys ' organisations — The Razor Club, the Varsity Club, and the Cardinal Guards, two of which were organized under Mr. Chap- man ' s direction. In addition to act- ing as director of these activities, Mr. Chapman also looks after vari- ous boy problems, securing help for boys who need it and smoothing out difficult situations. The Spanish Department, too, claims a part of his time.

CARDINAL AND WHITE Miss Marion L. Wilson Assistant Superintendent WHEN machinery runs smoothly, we enjoy it without stopping to consider that back of this quietly running mechanism must be a key operator, to whom we owe the credit for the efficient planning of our school events. Miss Wilson supervises the entire course of study, the planning of classes, teacher placement, and pupil problems. The calendar of auditorium meetings, including Razor Club, Student Body, Girls ' League and class meetings, all extra-curricular clubs and organizations, auditorium speakers and entertainments of all kinds given by the high school, is under Miss Wilson ' s direction. Since coming to our school Miss Wilson has taken over the management of the cafeteria, with results which are highly satisfactory to us all. To the welfare work which Whittier High School has done during this year of depression, Miss Wilson has given generously of her time. Because of her unflagging energy and never-failing tact, the burdens of many of our student body have been lightened.

CARDINAL AND WHITE Research and Guidance Department THE department of Research and Guidance has been newly added to our system and has proved to be a great success. The responsibility for administering courses of study rests upon this department and all changes in program are submitted to it for consideration. The mental ability, school interests, and outside interests of each pupil are taken under advisement, so that pupils may be placed in the classes best suited to them. During the past year, Dr. Jones has been the capable director of this work. He consults and advises both parents and stu- dents and has established many con- tacts with other schools and col- leges. ' With his friendly manner and willing guidance he has made countless friendships. DURING the past year, most of us have made the enjoyable ac- quaintance of Mrs. Vincent, who has been serving as Assistant Di- rector of the Research and Guid- ance Department. In connection with this new work, she has been chairman of the Courtesy Com- mittee, chairman of the Girls ' Ac- tivities Committee, and she also has had charge of the intelligence test- ing. Besides this busy program, Mrs. Vincent also is head of the English Department. Her guidance as chairman of the Annual and the Cardinal and White Weekly Com- mittees is greatly appreciated by all the students. Supervising the plans for the coaching of young orators and teaching advanced composition are just a few more of Mrs. Vin- cent ' s duties. i 1 $
