They seem to have one thing in common - an innate desire to help others learn. Every minute a teacher spends with a child is an investment in that child's life. Sharp minds and good brains are a challenge to dedicated teachers who are constantly stressing the importance of giving learning your best effort. It is so very depressing to look at a roomful of faces and find so many blank stares - daydreaming, not taking advantage of the educational opportunity of the moment. Sometimes a teacher feels like screaming into those expressionless faces, You must learn! You cannot sit here and not learn! In a small school like ours it is easy for teachers to become attached to the students. It is only natural to depend on those who are willing to help, who volunteer their time so eagerly to finish a project, who never complains when plans have to be altered or changed completely. Some students are habitually uncooperative, oftentimes being disruptive and offensive; they never join in anything constructive but are usually the first to register complains about a specific teacher. A successful person is someone who sets a socially acceptable goal fo himself and takes pride in attaining it. As long as you attempt something no one can accuse you of failing. You are a failure only when you qui before giving it your best try. Whether the student chooses to atten college or work, teachers are willing to help to the limit of their ability 13

BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mr. Raymond Caswell Mr. Robert Ransdell Mr. Albert Thrasher Mr. Cary McAdams Mr. Dennis Oliver SUPERINTENDENT, MR. WILBURN DAVIS The administrative staff of a school has the responsibility of providing the student body with an opportunity to obtain an education. The purpose of a high school is to give the student a general, well-rounded background in all subject areas. It's purpose is not for entertainment, nor for specific job training. Upon graduation, a senior should be well equipped with necessary skills required to earn a decent living. There has been a great deal of money spent to renovate the facilities on campus. It is not our purpose to repair what has been intentionally destroyed. These buildings do not belong to any one person, but to the community as a whole. We are here to manage the school for the taxpayers in this district. In the first assembly Bill Mears, the high school principal, said, “Mr. Davis has the workingest school board I've ever seen. When he showed me around campus this summer, we were stepping over paint cans and walking around building materials. I thought Bob Ransdell was part of the maintenance department until he was introduced as president of the school board. The United States is the only country in the world with a public school system like this. The superintendent is delegated the primary responsibility of enforcing policies set by the school directors.
