From The Broadcaster
inistration Directs, Guides School Life
The administration of Bre
vard Senior High School strives
each day for the betterment of
the students, the faculty, and
the school.
There are several phases in
volved in the administration of
B.H.S. ranging from principal
ship to student guidance, from
disciplinary action to operation
of the county bus system. The
field of school administration is
a widely varied one which re
quires many different types of
training.
Principal’s Job Entails
Responsibility
The most demanding job is
that of Mr. Joseph McGuire, the
principal. His responsibilities
include the employment of
teachers and the assignment of
students to classes. Mr. McGuire
is responsible for the entire op
eration of the school. He fills
out college applications for
hopeful seniors while he also
assigns bus routes and hires the
drivers.
Mr. McGuire stated that he
enjoyed working with young
people mainly because of their
youth and enthusiasm. He said
that young people set high goals
and that he enjoyed helping
• students reach them.
In order to hold a responsible
job of this type, one has to have
a Master’s Degree in Adminis
tration plus successful experi
ence in classroom teaching.
There are other certification re
quirements to enter this field.
Mr. McGuire would advise
young people to enter this
field. He stated that it is chal
lenging, rewarding, and he finds
every day different.
As in any job, he says, there
are advantages as well as some
disadvantages. One is to be
able to see young people de
velop into adulthood and be
come responsible citizens. But,
there are many unpleasant prob
lems and many times, there is
a failure to succeed with some
students.
In a profession of this type,
certain qualities are needed.
One needs a sense of humor,
understanding, sternness, and
sympathy to be an admired prin.
cipal.
Mr. McGuire selected several
members of the faculty to serve
as a Faculty Committee. They
attend committee meetings and
make recommendations to Mr.
McGuire on disciplinary prob
lems. The committee meets on
call to advise the principal on
any major problems of the
school. Members of this com
mittee are Mrs. Ruth Andrews,
Mrs. Sarah Abercrombie, Mr.
R. J. Lyday, Colonel H. P.
Houser, and Mr. Henry Jacob
sen.
Coach Fulbright
Enjoys Work
The assistant principal at
BHS is Coach Alton Fulbright.
He is responsible for all text
books, pupil attendance, and
discipline.
Coach Fulbright enjoys his
work and he feels that a per
son should make up his own
mind about his profession.
He finds that personality re
quirements are humor, under
standing, and sternness, in that
order.
“Doc” Holliday Finds
Youth Challenging
The Dean of Women at BHS
is Mrs. Fulton Holliday. She
counsels with girls who have
problems and is present at all
the conferences between the
principal and girls with dis
cipline problems. Mrs. Holliday
ffSM y aSk M preacHp
Hons, think of VARNER’S, adv
is responsible for the signing
of admit slips and excuses to
leave for girls.
For her job, Mrs. Holliday
had to have training in educa
tion courses, psychology, indi
vidual analyses courses, and
also adolescent development
courses.
Mrs. Holliday advises young
people to enter this profession
because teaching is a reward
ing experience and a service.
She believes that patience, un
derstanding, and sympathy are
qualities of personality requir
ed for this profession.
An advantage of this job is
learning to know students as in
dividuals, their problems, fail
ures, and successes.
Mrs. Holliday enjoys working
with young people. She believes
that “young people are a vig
orous challenge, they are stim
ulating and for the most part,
marvelous people.”
Mrs. Cudd Operates
Office Smoothly
Operating the office in a
smooth manner takes initiative
and understanding. Under the
capable supervision of Mrs.
Cudd, this is attained.
She must see that the school
is run smoothly and efficient
ly. Her responsibilities also in
clude helping to present an at
mosphere in which the stud
ents will enjoy coming to school
and will have a desire to learn.
Mrs. Cudd says in her job,
one needs an all around educa
tion, knowledge of office pro
cedure, training in public rela
tions, good grooming, pleasant
manners, and a Christian atti
tude toward the students.
If a person enjoys fellowship
with others and seeing the
changes in the students as the
freshmen become seniors and
advance to college and on to
their future life, Mrs .Cudd be
lieves this one would enjoy her
job.
In this profession, a person
needs to be pleasant and broad
minded. He should have the
ability to encourage students
to keep trying to improve
themselves. Being in this pro
fession teaches one patience and
self-control which is something
anyone can use.
Mrs. Cudd enjoys her work
and the young people she works
with. She says that she loves
people and young people are a
pleasure to be around.
Mr; Bryson Assists Faculty
Relieving the teachers of
routine work so that they can
spend more time with students
is one of the most important re.
sponsibilities of Mrs. Bryson.
She assists Mrs. Cudd in the of
fice. She types reports, exams,
tests, and letters. She is also
responsible for operating the
ditto, thermofax, and mimeo
graph machines.
Helpful in this profession are
a sense of humor and a good bit
of patience.
Mrs. Bryson enjoys working
around young people. She feels
that they have wonderful ideas
when older people are able to
listen to them. She realizes that
today’s young people will soon
be the leaders in the communi
ty and country, and adults must
take the time to understand
them.
Mrs. Bryson sees no disadvan
tage in her position. She enjoys
working with the well trained
staff and the very nice people
in the faculty and student body.
Her hours are convenient and
the job is never dull.
Guidance Counselor’s Work
Rewarding
One of the most important
jobs in the high school is Mrs.
Mary Whitmire’s job, that of
guidance counselor for the
school. In her job, Mrs. Whit
mire is responsible for stud
ent and parent counseling,
testing, class adjustments, and
group counseling.
A Master’s Certificate in
Secondary Education with a
guidance specialty is required
for this job.
Some of the qualities of per
sonality required for this pro
fession are a love of people and
an ability to work closely with
them, an ability to do detailed
work, and an ability to work in
non-measureable situations.
Mrs. Whitmire feels that be
ing able to work with people is
one of the advantages of her
job. She also enjoys seeing and
following the growth and de
velopment of the young people
she works with. Mrs. Whitmire
also enjoys working with young
people because of her basic
temperment and her past ex
perience in education.
If a person’s temperment is
such that sharing the problems
of others will not be depres
sing, Mrs. Whitmire feels that
the vocation of a guidance
counselor would reward that
person with great personal sat
isfaction.
Mrs. Neal Contributes To
Better Health
Heading the staff of the
lunchroom is Mrs. Alma Neal.

Mrs. Neal’s job. A pleasing
personality, patience, and a
willingness to accept criticism
are also necessary. Mrs. Neal
tries to have the food service
department a place where the
students will want to come.
Mrs. Neal says that her work
is very rewarding. She feels
that she is contributing to mak
ing young people have better
health. She keeps in mind that
a hungry student cannot con
centrate very well.
A lunchroom supervisor has
some disadvantages to her job
Mrs. Neal must be able to
change menus if orders are not
delivered, she might have to get
to work early to replace a sick
employee, and if it snows, she
doesn’t have a holiday.
Young people are an inspira
tion to Mrs. Neal. She enjoys
working with them because of
ibeir young ideas, and new goals
on their horizons. Mrs. Neal
would advise a young person to
enter this profession because a
good knowledge is not only need,
ed on the job, but it is also use
ful in the home.
