lVlr. Quenelle Anticipated Regular Sessions ness . As Principal, Mr. Quenelle strove to meet the demands of the student body. With the help of his secretary, he was able to accomplish his iob. As the 1968 school year began, Principal Mr. Quenelle noted that Palo Verde was no longer the largest school in the state, but that it would continue to be the best. Staggered sessions were preferred over the double session by Mr. Quenelle. He was looking forward to the time when Palo Verde would have a normal day. Only when Santa Rita opens will such problems as crowded classrooms, transporta- tion and disrupted families be eliminated. Mr. Quenelle has been principal of Palo Verde for four years. He is formerly from Tennessee where he attended Maryville College. He did his graduate work at Duke Uni- versity before he transferred to the University of Arizona, where he attained his Master's Degree in education. Returning to his home he became principal of the high school he grad- uated from. After spending some time in the Air Force in South Africa and in Italy, Mr. Quenelle came to Tucson. Mr. Quenelle has been a teacher at Safford Junior High and Tucson High. From Tucson High he went to Pueblo as ci counselor. He then accepted the position of assistant principal at Catalina, spending nine years there prior to coming to Palo Verde. He has taught a variety of subjects, but his specialties were science and English. Mr. Quenelle could be found in his office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. He had very little free time from the moment he arrived at school until he departed. Overall responsibility for the school was Principal Conrad Quenelle's main concern. His iob was to initiate all authoritative action for school activities.
