Mr. T. W. Gray, Principal Under the capable organization and direction of Principal T. W. Gray, Assistant Principal R. E. Byrd, and other office personnel, Cradock is run consistently well. Dealing with complex issues and en- forcing rules require fairness of thought and exceUence of judg- ment. Demanding situations nec- essitate quick decisions, which, even though formulated repidly, will have lasting results. The Cradock administration operates efficiently in its government of a student body and faculty. Mr. Gray and Mr. Byrd discuss coming school activities. 22

Biggerstaff has recently assumed the leadership as English chairman, and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Bruce continues as foreign language chairman. Every student is greatly influenced by the department’s objectives of understanding and clear effective ex- pression of ideas; creativity and originality are en- couraged. English is a course which every student is required to take throughout his high school career; foreign language is constantly increasing in its im- portance for the college-bound. Many teachers employ records and filmstrips to add interest in classes. Through the use of a modern language lab, featuring booths in which students may privately listen to tapes and record their own voices, French and Spanish courses are supplemented. With aids such as these, the Language Arts Department accomplishes its goals. Julia H. Hawkins English HI, IV Sponsor of Bible Club Sponsor of The Log B.S. Madison College 24
