departments Supervision, transcripts, guidance important Few events escape the attention of Mr. Roy Williams, rincipal.'who knows most of the more than 750 students y name, and is a confidante of many. Years of experience as a principal has convinced Mr. Williams of the import- ance of care in the administration of a high school. He believes in honoring those who make special marks of distinction on the athletic field, in the classroom, and in extra-curricular activities. He believes even more strongly that each student has something special to offer the school and the community as a citizen. “I’ve worked with young people too long not to know that some get started a little later than others before they begin to make their mark.” He’s a strong advocate of vocational education also, and hopes to see constant addi- tions in opportunities in these areas. Altus hopes to have new vocational courses by next fall. ••YOUR ATTENTION please are familiar words during home-room and sixth hour periods as Mr. Roy Williams, principal, begins school- wide announcements.
