Mr. M garo, at hia daak aarly in tha morning OUR WORKING PRINCIPAL When we fondly recall the days and year spent at East Side High, it will be impossible to forget Mr. Megaro. our principal. Faced with a tremendous construction problem of two new additions to our school, confronted with the reconstruction of our old building, and compounded with the fact that he was newly assigned as principal to East Side High during the hectic years of 1979-1980. he has through dedication, inspiration, and concern for all of us and those to follow, accomplished feats that exemplified his talents as administrator. Hia accomplishments were not those that made headlines, but instead were the types of achievements that made our environment of learning, our day to day activities, and our awareness of what is important in our educational experiences, meaningful and fruitful. We would like to list just some of these accomplishments by Mr. Megaro, not to highlight his career, but more to accentuate those day by day administrative problems that we, in most instances, were not aware of. and yet had a great impact on our educational environment. Supplementary supplies, equipment and instructional material were purchased to enhance learning situations in many departments. New classroom, cafeteria, and health office furniture was purchased to replace old. obsolete, and broken furniture. Mr. Megaro, enriched, expanded, and improved the curriculum to meet the needs of all of us at East Side. We cite only a few of the many accomplishments Mr. Megaro has spearheaded in the past two years. We wish him continued success and are confident that those who follow in our footsteps will continue to benefit from such dynamic leadership. 20

ADMINISTRATION FACULTY Teachers are an important part ol school life. Our lives are intertwined. So much of what we do, what we are, and what we know depends on them. We are not the only ones who are happy when our team wins, or when we have a day off. And we are not the only ones who cry at graduation, or are upset when report cards are distributed. The faculty experiences all this with us. Not only are they dedicated in their teaching but give freely of their time for our benefit. When we fondly recall the days and years spent at East Side High, it will be impossible to forget the many fine members of this faculty that have provided inspiration and incentive to strive for excellence.
