Section organizer: Kathy Lockley Each year the faculty and staff of- fered their encouragement and assistance in some way to the students of San Gorgonio. The principal, counselors, secretaries, and many others led the way for students who were going through what was called the best years of their lives. Many staff members got into the act at school and became involved with ac- tivities such as dressing up on Hallo- ween and participating in ICC day. Not only did teachers and others do their jobs, they also had extracurricular ac- tivities such as advising clubs, coaching sports or sponsoring classes to attend to. Mr. Willen, one of the club advisers for Interact, used ex-President Ken- nedy ' s words to describe the way he felt the students should view their clubs. Don ' t ask what the club can do for you, but what you can do for the club. ' ' Many teachers felt that students should participate in school activities. Such staff members as Mr. Shepherd, Mrs. Casselman, Mr. Satterfield, Mr. Betty, Mrs. Noakes, Miss DeWalle, and Mr. Taylor dressed up for Halloween to show their school spirit. Setting examples and giving advice were needed to help students succeed in life and at school. Each staff member had some way of playing a part in the education and involvement of the school. Mr. McNeal, teacher of science commented, One thing that is lacking in students is curiosity. I would like to set an example for them to be curious about the world. Being a curious person myself, I would like to see greater curiosity in my students. Mr. Bernardy, teacher of driver education said, As I teach driver train- ing, I always try to set a good example by using seatbelts in the car. I also try to be courteous to the students. Encouragement and knowing you can do the best was what Mr. Jones, Vice Principal, referred to when he said, Each student can obtain maximum achievement according to one ' s best ability, academically, athletically, and socially. To do that, students must ex- ert maximum efforts throughout all these areas. Leading the way in hope that students would endure and prevail, was what the staff was here for.

San Gorgonio welcomes new principal Students returning to San Gorgonio for their second, third, or fourth years noticed many changes around campus. The reason for these changes was probably that there was a new principal, Mr. Philip Haley. Mr. Haley was not a newcomer to San G; he had been vice prin- cipal for five years here before being transferred to San Bernar- dino High, where he was vice principal and then to San Andreas to be principal. With surroundings so familiar to him, Mr. Haley felt that returning to San G is like returning home. Putting students as his number one priority, Mr. Haley had ideas to make the campus run smoothly; students would be in class and not running around or off campus truant, he would con- tinue to support and modify the curriculum so San G had the strongest instructional program in the city, he would provide a safe campus for all students, and instill a program of self pride among the student body so the campus would be attractive. Mr. Haley felt this would work because San G has an outstanding student body. He also commented that the staff was the finest in th e city and or county. Among his many achievements, Mr. Haley started a parent communication group to improve community relations between the parents and the school. He was also interested in working with other staff members in developing a plan for ninth and tenth grade students to improve their attendance. This would cut down on the number of transfers to Sierra High School. Mr. Haley commented that students were his number one priority, and this was evident by the many ways he set out to im- prove San G and the enthusiasm he displayed at his job.
