Principle Deals With Problems Mr. Luce, Falfurrias High School principal, had many tasks through- out the whole year. Some of his many tasks were making out tardy and absentee slips. Along with mak- ing out slips, he coped with many problems brought up by students. One of the major problems Mr. Luce had to work out was the petition brought up by the students of Falfurrias High School. The peti- tion concerned the dress code of the school. He successfully changed the dress code, pleasing the many students who b r o u g ht up the petition. Mr. Luce had many problems concerning the students of Falfur- rias High School, but he worked them out for the good of all students. Advice Can Be Great Help To Many Students Gary Carroll, guidance counselor, assisted students with academic or personal problems all year round. Six years of counseling experience have helped Mr. Carroll to always be ready to assist anyone in any way that he is able. His c al m and understanding manner seemed to reassure many troubled students. These students came to trust and confide in him. Mr. Carroll's good advice and devotion helped many students to successfully solve their problems. This full-time job certainly kept Mr. Carroll al W a y s prepared to meet challenges all d u r i n g the the school term. Faculty Drafts New Member Having the task of making out tardy and absentee slips, paper work, and disciplining students, were just some of the many jobs Mr. Almendarez was responsible for this year. This was Mr. Almendarez's first year as assistant principal. Cornwell Helps Many Students Glenn Cornwell, Freshman and Sophomore counselor is in his sec- ond year of counseling at Falfur- rias High School. I This year Mr. Cornwell helped start a student's Youth Center. The purpose of this Center was to help the teenagers have a place for re- creation. There, students could go play ping pong, watch television or just chat with friends. Mr. Corn- well felt that a place fdr teen- agers could help our community a great deal. Besides starting a Youth Center, Mr. Cornwell also helped Freshman and Sophomore students with their own problems. Mr. Cornwell proved to be more than just a counselor. He proved that he was an interested adult who was going to try to help the youths of Falfurrias. Frauke Wode, student from Breman, Germany, is sponsored by Counselor Gary Carroll and wife Marinelle.
