Before becoming involved in education Mr. Tatum was outstanding in the iield of professional baseball. He pitched for several major league teams including the Boston Red Sox and the Califomia Angels where he was named Rookie of the Year. He also held the American League record for the best earned run average. As assistant principal Mr. Tatum's activities are varied. His many respon- sibilities range from monitoring student attendance and handling discipline pro- blems to making sure that the coke machines are full.

This is an ongoing task which was begun in the fall.
