d» ' HoBRas For HotMNisN! If one were to pass through Subschool Three, they might have caught a glimpse of Mr. Watts laboring at his desk; or an empty chair, its owner up and about the school at work. As principal of Subschool Three, Mr. Watts was like any of the other Subschool heads, busy with a job that, in his case, entailed duties ranging from the supervision and responsibility of about 700 students and 30 teachers, to the assistance of students with broken lockers, thefts and the like. He summarized his list of duties with a smile and the simple statement: “It’s a big job!” Despite the work, which he enjoyed, he rated Lake Braddock the best after working at 8 other schools. With 19 years in the traditional learning system, he admired our learning concept (open classrooms) because it was “exciting, functional and appealing.” He hoped Subschool Three projected “a warm, humanistic approach towards dealing with people.” He also desired to see the school do more across Subschool lines as one unified school, instead of six separate learning units, “because we are all a family and should work together.” His main interests revolved around our school, particularly the athletic program which included watching the football and basketball games. In addition to being an avid Bruin fan, he was a devoted familyman.

In addition to sponsoring the eighth grade drill team, Ms. Mikula enjoyed dancing, ice skating and going to school. We found she attended many universities, majoring in biology, geology and history. All this schooling paid off as she proved to be an excellent science teacher to many of us. As sponsor of the eighth grade drill team, Ms. Mikula brought to Lake Braddock some of her own previous experience as a high school majorette and cheerleader. After an interview with Ms. Mikula, we discovered she felt a good seventh grade program of both drill team and Bruce Regis — Aide Gloria Revis — Math Ann Ripley — P.E., Intermediate Gymnastics Team George Rogers — Industrial Arts Olga Roush — Music, Choral, Vocal Performing Group Hal Shoun — Science, Yearbook Jim Stanfield — Industrial Arts Bob Starr — Industrial Arts Sally Sullivan — English Charley Thompson — P.E., Intramurals Larry Tichenor — Music Joan Unkel — Librarian, Science Fiction Club Katie Williams — English
