Principcil Fcices Much Responsibility Without the help ofthe assistant principals, lVlr. Alvis Hanna's work would have been impossible. As the principal of John Tyler High, lVlr.

With his main responsibility to the students, lVlr. Hanna spent much of his time talking with them and trying to help them solve the many problems facing them.

The Tyler Independent School System was made up of a group of dedicated men who pro- vided an invaluable link between the community and the administration. Many important issues faced the School Board this year-most significant being the Bond Issue. This issue held the key to other decisions. The School Board, also, pondered whether or not to approve the quarter-system of the school year. They carried on their regular work of hiring faculty, adopting new text books, retaining the school lunch program, setting school policy, and various other matters of concern.
