MR. RICHARD E. LEE B.S., Lynchburg College M.Ed., University of Virginia Principal Administration Behind the success and achievements of the stu- dent body at A.C.H.S. is the guiding hand of our administration, Mr. Richard E. Lee, our principal, and Mrs. Laura Herion, secretary to the principal. Even though there are many activities going on at school, each student knows he can find guidance and understanding from Mr. Lee. By taking an ac- tive part in the academic and the extra-curricular activities, he gains insight into the students likes and dislikes, thus being able to gain their confidence and cooperation. Mr. Lee has set the highest ideals as goals for us to follow to enrich our lives and to make us better citizens. We are indeed grateful for this anchor to support us. MRS. LAURA HERION Secretary 15
