'NTCIPAL King Larr Descending his royal throne Principal Mr. Larry Wnter assists kitchen Workers i KP duty. Not only did Principal Mr. Larry Winter evaluate students' classroom behavior, on building needs, and arrange trans- portation for school sponsored activities, but he also gave cooks Sandy Taylor and Carol Wich- man a hand in the kitchen. He was responsible for maintining order in the lunchroom, punching lunch cards as consumers filed through the line, and helping between lunches with the restocking of the milk, Being the cooks' helper wasn't all work and no play, however. Taylor and Wichman have pulled a few fast ones on the boss, such as the time they froze the stool he'd sit on while he punched cards during lunch. The scheme was unsuccessful, how- ever. TAYLOR: Mr. Winter came into the kitchen, over to his stool. He put his hand on it to move it, though, so he noticed it was all frosty. Photo by Renee Strong. X S - X ix 3, s Hey, big spender.

This page, however may be a little less cluttered than in years past. WINTER: I was overwhelmed my first year as principal. I tried to do too much. Since then, I've learned to delegate some authority to others, and I have more or less settled in. Lately, I've tried to relax more than I used to. I had no big plans for the summer, so I had the chance to spend more time at home and with my family. I kept busy with small projects around the house, went to the kids' ball games - I helped coach Patis baseball team - and babysat while my wife at- tended class at Washburn. I've also tried to relax more dur- ing the school year: I leave my of- fice work at school when I go home at night.

Along with a change of times there also came a change of teach- ers and classes. Calculus, a new class, was taught by new Lord Alan Cunningham. He also taught computer program- ming, Algebra II, and advanced math. CUNNINGHAM: The new class worked out well. We took it slowly. Foreign exchange student Nadia Evenepoel helped the class under- stand the subject better because she had taken it in Belgium. Lord Cunningham went to Kan- sas State University and received a Bachelor of Science in education. He previously taught Algebra I, Biology II, and general science for one year at Clifton Clyde High School. Lord Cunningham attended Sil- ver Lake as a student.
