Our Principals, The Ross M. Hines has become our first new principal in twenty-six years. He plans to become directly and person- ally involved in activities taking place at Huntington. His direct involvement with the student body concerns formulating rules, regulations, and policies governing student educational progress. He takes an active part in club meetings and extracurricular activities. He also has an open door policy in which students can feel free to talk with the principal at any time. This helps to bridge the communication gap and bring stu- dents closer to the administration. Mr. Hines hopes to secure more adequate facilities for teaching in order that the great- est possible growth in each student can take place. He feels that students need to de- velop a sense of responsibility in terms of the necessity of an education. Mr. Hines admires one of our school's many athletic trophies. Clarence Barner discusses his plans for the future with Mr. Hines. Mr. Turner gives Mrs. Kea his ticket sales financial report while Mr. Hines observes. 28
