v. 1. This study determines high school population rate of increase in a period of 5 years, from school year 1977-1978 to school year 1981-1982. The study is quantitative in nature, employing a combination of statistical measures like the mean, percentage and other simple operations to establish validity. The mean treatment seeks to establish a common trend that indicate the retention rate of students from one curriculum year to the next higher curriculum year. The percentage measure is used to establish the Holy Angel College (HAC) market share of the elementary graduates in Angeles City itself and the proportionate number of first year enrollees coming from nearby towns and provinces from school year 1969-1970 to 1976-1977. The teacher-student ratio is used in determining the number of students who can be taken care of by every teacher. Data were obtained from the Division of City Schools for the public schools and the registrars of the different private schools in the city offering elementary education. The findings of the study revealed that : 1. Thirty-eight per cent (38%) of the elementary graduates in Angeles City is absorbed by the HAC. This constitute 80% of her total first year enrollment. 2. Twenty per cent (20%) of the total first year enrollment come from nearby towns and provinces. 3. The average retention rate in the higher years is 89%. 4. The enrollment projection shows that by school year 1981-1982, the high school (Day Department) population will be 7,950. This projected enrollment will be attained through an average rate of increase of 5.4%. 5. The population in the High School (Day Department) increases every school year at an average rate of 5.4% from school year 1977-1978 to school year 1981-1982. v. 2. In the interest of good, effective and efficient administration, the writer proposed a Faculty handbook for the high school teachers of the Holy Angel College (HAC) presenting definite guidelines, setting job descriptions and basic principles and practices of administering. This project paper was based on a compilation of handbooks from similar schools. Some were modified to make it adaptable to the school other additions were the outcomes of interviews from knowledgeable faculty members still others were formulated by the administration. The handbook was finalized after consultations with the administration and faculty members. v. 3. In this case falling within the area of personnel administration, the College President is faced with a dilemma of whether to dismiss or retain an employee. Alternative solutions to the problem and consequences are : 1. The President may decide to dismiss his employee for rendering sports coaching activity, which he objects to, even if the service was rendered outside of office hours. The dismissal will bolster his personal authority and leadership in the college. But then, he has to establish a valid ground for the dismissal. In the event that the employee wins his case, the President will have a problem of swallowing his pride when ordered by the court to reinstate the employee. Although the college may answer for the damages arising from the court process and when the employee wins the case, the President will still suffer some moral inconveniences. 2. The President may decide to retain the employee. This will build for himself the image of a just employer. However, news of the incident had already spread out the entire college population. This may result in a loss of moral authority and/or respectability on the part of the college President. The employee himself might never forget the hurt of the attempted dismissal. The President may not be sure anymore of the employee's loyalty and devotion to duty.
