Assistant principal Melva Owens and her husband view the Homecoming dance from the sidelines. Administrators gain new faces The adminstrators put in a great deal of hard work which paid off. Dr. R. Larry Roberts, principal, said the majority of his time was devoted to promoting an educational at- mosphere that would allow students and teachers to work together in a harmonious goal-reaching environ- ment. One of the reasons that Roberts is able to use his time to promote this atmosphere is due to the help of Associate Principal Sam Allen. He has been assisant principal at three junior high schools in and around the Wichita area and was assisant prin- cipal at South for three years. Three years ago he came to East as assis- tant principal, and last summer he became associate principal. To fill the vacancy created by the promotion of Allen and the departure of last year's second assistant prin- cipal, we added two new faces to our administrative staff. They were Larry Turner and Melva Owens. Turner came from Hamilton Junior High School where he was principal. He took over the position of assistant principal, replacing Sam Allen. Owens wasn't exactly new to East. She had been director of Experience Based Career Education 1975-1979. But last year she took a leave of absence to work on her PhD in Education at the University of Kan- sas. Owens replaced Don Wright. Our administrative staff worked ex- tremely hard at the job of making and keeping East High School the best high school in Wichita. After a hard day's work, Dr. R. Larry Roberts, principal, and Sam Allen, associate principal, relax while watching the Aces play Kapaun- Mount Carmel.
