J. WALTER GILLIS University of Oklahoma, B.A. University of Oklahoma, M. Ed. Mr. Thoms, the assistant principal, begins his work at the end of the summer. He serves as both disciplinarian and friend to the students. One of his many tasks was the change in the announcements and the attendance pro- cedure. In the middle of the year student responsibility was emphasized by the disbanding of first and seventh hour study halls. Later in the year regulations on tardiness were modified. Increasing student responsibility is Mr. Thoms' main goal. Program planning for educational purposes is promoted by Mr. Gillis, our principal. During the summer Mr. Gillis helped in planning for the addition to the library. In the summer and throughout the school session Mr. Gillis has benn attending conferences.
