Anyone who gets into trouble for the first time and is sent to the office knows that waiting for Mr. Price can be a frighten- ing experience. Once interrogation is over and Mr. Price gives his words of advice, it is a relief to realize that things aren’t so bad. Mr. Price relates to just about every situation and always has a few pointers to issue listening students. He also listens to advice and compli- ments as students comment on his new bearded appearance and intricately de signed ties. For leisure, Mr. Price takes time out to work on his cars, but his favor ite activity is spending time with his wife, son, and brand new baby daughter. Mr. Price is not only assistant principal in charge of discipline, but he has many other roles. He serves as a locksmith when students haphazardly leave keys in their cars and he serves as a public relations man when visitors come. He goes beyond the call of duty and often helps many dif¬ ferent organizations after school. Mr. Price shows off his colorful personality through his art. Cristie Langley Helen Sanders Carrie Savannah Sharon Semon A special type of style When communication with someone from outside Magnet is being transacted, it is very important that the caller or visitor gets a positive impression immediately. This is a realization of the office staff who pride themselves on friendliness and lively conversation. Familiarity with a majority of the students is also visible. Mrs. Sanders always has hellos for stu¬ dents, most of the time on a first name basis. Mrs. Savannah or another member of the staff often treks to the “T-shacks” to give that important message Mom left at the office. Mrs. Semon is also a real credit, and we are all indebted to her. Her willing ness to count and recount our money is always appreciated. Mrs. Langley adds her touch by keeping tabs on Mrs. Smith in her busy daily activities. 144 • Administration
