Mr. Tom McVay (athletic director) Many groups formed Mr. Jack Larson has been principal at Derby Senior High for three years. It is the feeling of Mr. Larson that DSH is our school and that everyone should be brought together. With this idea in mind, he formed various groups to allow each individual the opportunity to be heard. Each of these groups discussed improve- ments and changes in all areas of the school. The Advisory Board was es- tablished by Mr. Larson during his first year at DSH. The Board recommended to the Student Council desired changes of the students. Advisory groups were formed to study the cafeteria. parking lots, and smoking. In November, an Inner Liai- son Council was begun. This council consisted of staff mem- bers. parents and students. Direct communication was achieved between the principal and student body during spe- cial orientation assemblies. In January, Mr. Dennis Wil- liams, activities director, ac- quired a larger office. The of- fice was rebuilt to allow for more privacy and extra space. Mr. Williams, who is in his second year as vice principal, said. I think my new office is super, and they did a real good job. Now I can visit with two people at one time, instead of only one.
