Principal, Mr. Wjames P. McHugh did a number of things for the school. One thing that took a lot of his time was balancing the budget. Every month Mr. McHugh had to make sure that all of the money gets used in the correct way. The budget included utility bills, textbooks, salaries and any other supplies a teacher may need. Mr. McHugh said that the lack of money created a great hinderance for all of the teachers and students. . Assistant principal, Mr. Ronald Polek did several things this year. He said he really enjoyed making schedules. It's like a giant puzzle to get every student in the right place at the right time, Mr. Polek commented. This year he had to make room for three French classes and two journalism classes. He needed a balance in all the classes. He also helped arrange the new study skills center. Student council also takes much of his time. He was working with student council, coordinating events such as dances, dress up and color days. He also helped to change the slave day from , spring to winter. Discipline! To some students that was the only word in the vocabulary of the clean of students, Mr. Duane R. Hall. In fact he did a number of things. He was a su- pervisor in the cafeteria. He chaperoned dances and other school events and he talked to parents and teachers about discipline problems. Mr. Hall said that he doesnt like to suspend students. He likes to talk to the student to find out what punishment will be better for them, whether it would be penalty hall, parent con- ference, or suspension. He said, some rules become more and more dimcult to enforce. The dress code, for example, was hard to enforce because of the type of clothes being worn today. Typing was a major part of the secretaries work. They typed all of the yearbook copy for journalism and did any typing the principal and teachers needed. They tilled out passes and absence slips for students and set appointments for the principal and assistant. Due to minimal funds, students who wanted copies were charged ten cents. Because only the secretaries were allowed to use the copier, much more work was in- volved for them.
