Principal Robert Sullenger Assistant Principal Joan Nichols Assistant Principal Charles Ferriter PRINCIPAL DUTIES Sullenger finds time for homework' Being a principal may seem like an overwhelming job to some people, but not to Prin- cipal Robert Sullenger, who has also found time to serve on the executive board of the Arkansas Activities Associa- tion. Sullenger said that the as- sociation's job is to make de- cisions about new policies on sports and other extracurric- ular activities. It's kind of like a school board for the whole state. If a school challenges the rules about athletic activities, the board will get together and rule on it. Sullenger said. We also make recommen- dations to the superintendents and principals of the whole state, like when football sea- son will start and how many teams will go to the playoffs. Fifteen secondary principals and superintendents from across the state are members of the board. Sullenger said. “The representatives come from five state wide districts. he said. They are elected at a dis- trict meeting once a year and serve a three year term. Sullenger said that he has only been on the committee since July and is looking forward to the rest of his term. I know I'll enjoy it because I like the association with other professional people, and I think school activities are important. I believe they have their place, but need guidelines and controls. — by Christine Mcknelly THE SIDELINES. Coach Martha Cothren and Assistant Principal Charles iter watch a Lady Bears game m the gym.

ART LOVER Teacher returns to old job The words ‘back to school often make some people shud- der. But in the case of art teacher Beth Smith, these words have a very special meaning, Mrs. Smith has come back to teaching after spending two and a half years working with her husband doing wildlife re- habilitation. Sylvan Hills is a quality school. The teachers are ex- tremely friendly and the stu- dents are exceptional. she said Even throughout high school. Smith said she wanted to be an art teacher. Art is an important subject. It’s really basic, just like English, math, and science. Throughout his- tory humans have always ex- pressed themselves visually. In our world now. computers do everything for us; art is an outlet — a way to ex- press ourselves. After taking a few years away from students. Mrs. Smith said it was time to re- enter her former profession. This time is my time. I believe. Teaching is some- thing I love to do. I try to make art a fun subject. she said. — by Kelly Hursl DIG IN. At the teacher's luncheon at the beginning of the year.
