MR. WINGARD, AN EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATOR AND A FRIENDLY COUNSELOR TO ALL As principal of Woodward High School, Mt. Cleon J. Wingard has his lingers on the control panel of one of Ohids largest schools. But he does not direct the operations of his school alone. Mr. Wingatd believes that wise cie- cisions must be based upon diverse viewpoints and accurate data. So he tirelessly maintains personal contact with teach- ers, parents, and students; and as a member of national, state, and local professional organizations, he keeps abreast of the most recent developments in the educational field. Although Mr. Wingard is faced with an enormous amount 01C paper work, including the planning of the mas. ter schedule for teachers and students, the preparation of daiiy reports for the central oHice, and the dissemination of information to faculty and students, he does not spend his entire day at his desk. Greeting passing crowds of students I7 in the halls, helping to promote school spirit by participat- ing enthusiastically in the pep assemblies, and selling tickets to a school function are all a part of Mr. Wingardk daily routine. He always seems to hnd a moment for a private conference with a troubled teacher or student; and there is never a time when he is not willing to discuss his coin, stamp, and Indian relic collections with an interested listener. Because he is a friend, students and teachers willingly accept his advice and policies. The co-opetative response elicited by his frequent appeals over the public address system and by his popular column The PrincipaPs Cornet in the Bulldog Bark: is a manifestation of the effectiveness of his personal influence on the administration of his school.

Mr. Arthur Vigatd, Assistant Principal of the Senior High School, is usually the first person that newly enrolling pupils meet when they enter Woodward, since one of his important assignments is to serve as the admissions ofhcer for the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. In this capacity he must determine whether the new pupil belongs in the Woodward school district; he is also responsible for with- draWals from the school. A large portion of his day is devoted to the attendance and disciplinary problems of the more than 1800 pupils in the senior high school. Some of the other duties that keep the congenial Mt. Vigard occupied are the supervision of the science, mathe- matics, and business departments; the distribution iof all textbooks, maps, charts, and other teaching aids; the gen- eral planning and supervision of the lunchtoom schedule; the registration of eighteen-yeateold boys for military se- lective service; the issuance of visitor passes, elevator pet- mits, early excuses, and work permits; teacher evaluation in the senior high school; and, finally, assisting in the ad- ministration of summer school. k t gin :::::::::p:::::: THE ASSISTAN T MR. EUGENE SHRIMPTON Assistant Principal of the Junior High PRINCIPALS H AVE VARIED FUNCTIONS As Assistant Principal of the Junior High, Mt. Eugene Shrimpton is concetncd with the esprit and discipline of twelve hundred students. His additional responsibilities in- clude the supervision and instruction in the industrial arts, social studies, and home economics departments. T0 pro- mote quality teaching in these areas of instruction, Mt. Shrimpton assists in curriculum planning, chooses new supplementary aids, and suggests new teaching methods. Teacher evaluation in the junior high school is another of his regular assignments. But Mr. Shrimpton has interests other than his daily duties. Administering the operation of the Woodward Student Store is but one; as principal of Woodwardk night school he again has to apply his daytime skills, although for the benefit of an adult group. Because of his personable nature and administrative skill, Mr. Shrimpton is indeed quaiihed for the highly responsible position he holds.
