Harold Gentry was the assistant principal for the sophomores. It was his job to plan all of their extracurricular activities and to help coordinate them with the juniors and seniors. Even though he has taught in this district for seven years, this was his first year at Ruskin. In his opinion, double sessions are practical because of the number of students who must attend school at Ruskin, but leave a great deal to be desired. Mg 1 s ll Zi 1 if 4?
