Iohn Senecal 7930-7980 T he Eagle Mountain community suffered a very real shock, a strong sense of loss, and a painful setback with the death of Jack Senecal. Eagle Mountian High School princi- pal for four years, Jack Senecal represented the school and its young people to the best of his ability. He was sincere and earnest in his efforts to be as fair as possible with stu- dents, and he cared a great deal about their programs and welfare. He was admired and respected by all those who knew and worked with him. He was the most honest and intelligent person I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I was proud to be his friend. He was sincere and earnest in his effort to make E.M. a welcome part of the Arrowhead League. These comments about Mr. Jack Senecal were made by people who wokred for and with him. His dedi- cated administration helped greatly to make the 1980-81 year a success both academically and extracurricularly for the students of E.M.H.S. A John Senecal, Principal.

Faculty CONCERN, PATIENCE, SUPPORT Todays world demands that a person must have certain qualities in order to be a success. Patience is one of these qual- ities most often exhibited by E.M.H.S. faculty, staff, and administration. Dedicated district employees continually take time to 'assist students with their scheduling of classes, and counseling. Besides preparing lesson plans or lectures, writing or grad- ing tests, and the other work that goes into the classroom side of education, E.M.H.S. faculty still finds time to sponsor, or coach afterschool activities that contribute to the success of outside curriculum. Support and friendship from a teacher can be a valuable tool in the formation of the student's char- acter as well as an essential aid in his growth. Teachers con- tribute a great deal to our lives. They help mold and shape us into a pattern we will carry with us forever. A C.M. Sparkman assists Bev Olson with a math problem.
