D . . 7 Page Tw Ma. D. K. PITTMAN Principal ADIVIINISTRA Having arrived in the fall of 1960, Mr. David T. Singleton, Ir., has become very much a part of the in- tricate life of the school. His duties consist of helping fit together the many functions of the school's operation. Transportation, attendance, disciplinary problems, re- ceiving new furniture, and other varied responsibilities provided him with many puzzling pieces to fit into the design of a fine and meaningful whole. From early in the morning when he was found checking excuses and clearing all matters relative to student absences, checking in the bus drivers, admonishing them, and co-ordinating the bus service for all busses that serve our school, until late in the afternoon when he helped to clear up any unfinished business, he was to be seen working steadily and efficiently to help maintain the school's standard of excellence. enty-two no matter how odd and irregular those pieces were, was that of our principal, Mr. D. K. Pittman. Coming to the school in her opening year, he gave direction and also lent a helping hand to students and faculty alike, until they became more eflicient in solving the puzzles of their lives. After an extended illness last year, he came back with renewed determination to see the school maintain its high standards. He put in endless hours helping everyone become adept in conquering the maze of new corridors and classrooms as well as providing an extended curriculum this year. With a deep concern for all those who teach and study at East, with an abiding interest in the development of students with many in- terests and from many far-flung places, and with a strong background of experience and personal integrity, he put together a school which has become widely known for sending out students well qualified in scholarship and in leadership.
