To Help Us With All Our Problems Mr. George Owens, the vice-principal, whom everyone knew better as the dean of boys, was in charge of minor disciplinary problems, helped with the management of ath- letic events, and worked on attendance records. He was also a teacher of orientation. He received his M,A. and B„S. degrees from Ball State Teachers ' College. With a job that could often be trying, he joined Mr. Lemme in a concentrated effort to stabilize the school in the shortest possible time. Mr. Lemme was Carmel High School ' s principal . Although this was his first year at Carmel, he was very well liked and made many friends in the school and the community. As principal, Mr. Lemme handled any major disciplinary problem, managed school records, supervised non-teaching services, and con- ducted teachers ' meetings. His job knew no regular hours, nor could he get away from it, even at home. But through it all he never faltered and remained serene. He organized the first electronics class here and did a fine job teaching it. Mr. Lemme received his A.B., degree from Indiana Central College and his M S o degree in education at Butler University. Before coming to Carmel, Mr. Lemme was the principal at Mount Summit High School.
