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.

He liked the ninth and tenth grade because they did what was asked of them without thinking it was beneath them. “Also,” said Mr. Hills, “at that age people seem very honest and very compassionate.” If you were to observe Mr. Hills while he was teaching, you would find that all his students were wide awake and ready to learn. Mr. Hills told us if the teacher was enthusiastic, then the students would be equally enthusiastic. Mr. Hills taught ninth-grade History. He felt that poverty was an important issue because it was necessary for everyone to know how to help those less fortunate than themselves. Science teacher Tom Giska instructing his class. Mr. Hills finds a relaxing way to teach his English class. Pat Gray — Geometry, High Life Nancy Groves — Algebra I, Card Club Dick Lisi — Science 168 Faculty
