FIIIIIITIQIWT IMQIWCEIPIQIIILI -FQ' There are a lot of things lack- ing in education today. One of the main things is the lack of warmth generated by teachers towards students and vice versa. People have to feel important, to feel loved. lf I can tell someone I care for them and make them feel like a person. . . thats important. lenioy people, and I have enjoyed the challenge of being assistant prin- cipal in charge of activities. One of my bright spots this year has been with the A.S.B. They're a great group of people. l'd like to think that the teachers and administrators will meet the needs of students on campus, but being realistic, we can't. I feel people expect too much from a school. Home is the crucial aspect of changing behavior patterns. -Norm Morrow My best wishes to the class of 1977 for their significant con- tributions to Blair High School. The efforts in scholarship, athletics, music and other class activities leave a positive image for future classes at Blair. Sic transit gloria mundi. Good Luck. . . -Kenneth Olson .,.,ye?5P 'f .'f - mt, I '

All that is part of being the dean. As the dean, I was fair but firm, and didn't compromise. As principal, I operate the same way but in other areas of concern. l'm sure I have other areas of concern. I'm sure I have an image from back when I first came to Blair that will take time to overcome. SAGA: We recognize that be- ing principal ofa high school is not an easy task. What makes it worth it? PARCELL: I think the joy of working in all areas of education is what makes it worth while. I have the opportunity of working not only with students but parents, teachers and the community. I have enjoyed the experience of observing different classrooms and different teaching techniques this year and I feel teachers have the ability to turn people on. To see this is really great. This year as principal has opened my eyes in many areas. By Janice Spindt Assuming the responsibility of directing a student body and their instructors in their varied fields and activities has presented a marvelous opportunity and challenge for me. Without you, it wouldn 't ha ve been possible. I wish you, my first graduating class, good health, much happiness and success. -Charles Parcel!
