School personnel animate Chrisman Students, teachers, administrators, custodi- ans, cafeteria personnel, bus drivers - all these made Chrisman a live, busy place. All these in- dividuals contributed to '71 in the Making? Approximately 1400 students studied, partic- ipated in sports, music, debate, drama, publi- cations. Some teachers and administrative per- sonnel contributed to these students' achieve- ments and academic progress. Keeping every- thing in the building clean and running smooth- ly were the custodial staff. Some women worked diligently in the cafete- ria to provide food for the students and person- nel. Early each morning, bus drivers started on their regular routes to transport students to school. Then regularly each afternoon they lined their busses in the front drive. These bus driv- ers also transported students to games, to field trips and to other school sponsored activities. All these persons at the right place at the right time kept Chrisman animated and en- grossed during the school year. Their Work and cooperation continued William Chrisman's tra- dition of achievement. -is S 1 sg s I W F xv k t QI S if A 22

Executive personnel initiate program for all Principal George E. Greene and Vice-Principal William L. Burlingame with the help of three secretaries kept the entire school year coordinated for faculty and students. One of the major problems met and solved was the adop- tion of a dress code. This code was formulated by a committee of eight fac- ulty members, eight students and eight parents. It was voted upon by faculty, students and parents. Mr. Greene appointed a 24 member Student-Relations Committee which represented a cross section of the stu- dent body. The purpose of this committee was to discuss any policies or problems which related to students that they did not understand. Mr. Greene coordinated the secondary program at Chrisman by meeting with central office personnel and then with the faculty. He listened to student and faculty problems and helped to solve them. Mr. Burlingame scheduled students in classes and supervised attend- ance. He kept a careful check on tardies and truancies. Three secretaries, a supervised office practice student and student aides helped the men by performing the many routine school office tasks. The secretaries each had special duties as their title indicated. Principal George E.
