Pam SLABY ' S CAREER li nmsHro If f- 1 HE JUST GOT A BETTER JOB i Dr. Slaby was honored at a recep- tion at the high school before ne left for his new job as Superintendent of Middle Town Unified School District in Northern California. Just kidding around what faculty member originally wanted to be a game warden? Hint: he was the outdoor type, and he taught for twenty-eight years in the Carson City School District. Actually as a high school student, Mr. Kidder had no intentions of being a teacher. I became a teacher so I could coach and be more in- volved with kids because I enjoy watching them ad- vance and improve, he said. He grew up in Hawthorne and later attended UNR. In high school he participated in basketball, track and baseball for all four years, and he was on the UNR baseball team for three years. In his spare time he fished, hunted and camped out- doors because it was his chance to get away from it all. He also ran around with his friends. We dragged Main to be cool, he said.

Dr. Pat Haller took over for Dr. Robert Slaby, CHS principal, who left the school before Christmas to continue his career in California. Students were insulted having to carry written hall passes. Even though there were jokes about them. Dr. Haller did not give in, not because she wanted to punish students, but because ner emphasis was on instruc- tion. A student couldn ' t learn while he was roaming the halls tossing the wooden pass around. The reason I went with the hall passes was because a lot of people were taking ad- vantage of the pass system, teachers including stuaents, said Dr. Haller. Despite the hassles as the temporary principal. Dr. Haller decided to apply for Wearing her Minnie Mouse watch, a gift from some friends, Dr. Haller is prepared to start her day on time. the permanent position of principal. She said that she taught for nine years and since then she has had ex- perience with several administrations. I believe I can help the school, students, and teachers. Knowing the place helps, said Dr. Haller. Dr. Haller did have one im- mediate goal that she hoped to reach. My short range goal is to get the school to have pride in itself. To be one of the best in the state, which we pro- bably already are. The hassle that she receiv- ed from students didn ' t change how she viewed them. I think all of the students here are a great group. They are extremely helpful, ' ' said Dr. Haller. By Michelle Heun Faculty f ff

Senior St uff Even before the first day of school, activities began for the seniors. Senior pictures and registration were both among their worries. Getting senior pictures done was a big mess, said Ronell Funk. This was because of scheduling problems. The year was packed with ex- citement: the senior parking spaces, purchasing graduation announcements and caps and gowns, shorter school aays for some, and applying to colleges. Applying to colleges was the most important thing I ' ve done in a long time that will involve my future, said Dawn Wallace. Activities kept the seniors in- volved. Powder Puff football, the Christmas Ball, Homecom- ing week, assemblies, and the Prom helped seniors show their school spirit. The Christmas Ball pictures turned out really good, said Michelle McBride.
