Dynamic New Principa PRINCIPAL: Mr. Walter A. Hunt. Being at the helm of a school embracing I 700 vibrant young lives is no easy task; but Mr. Walter A. Hunt, Andrew Lewis ' new principal, plunged into his job with determination, enthusiasm, and a great con¬ cern for the well-being of the entire student body. A native of Franklin County, Mr. Hunt was gradu¬ ated from the College of William and Mary with a B.S. in mathematics. He received his Master ' s De¬ gree in 1957. Backing Mr. Hunt in his new job were assistant prin¬ cipals, Mr. Robert Patterson and Mr. E. E. Barnett. Mr. Barnett was in charge of student attendance and d iscipline while Mr. Patterson served as director of student activities. Both aided Mr. Hunt in fa¬ miliarizing himself with the students and the opera¬ tion of the school. Long hours with much to do never prevented Mr. Hunt from always taking time to confer with students. Mr. Hunt bought the first box of A Cappella Choir candy from Becky Crush. 20
