Though it is known that Glenn High started from scratch and has up to a well-respected high school in only two years, few students know the shoulders that the responsibilities and blame have fallen on. The man behind the scenes, taking the rap but seldom the credit, is Mr. Carl Clarke. He has been a principal for ten years and an assistant principal for seven. He was here when the transformation, junior high to high school, was made. Though the responsibilities of high school are more in number and harder to handle, he has been able to make the new high Clarke: The Man Behind the Principal school run smoothly.

Being a teacher and a princi- pal takes much preparation: A bachelor's degree at Appala- chian, a Master's at UNC, a cer- tification of administration at UNC-G, and an EDS degree at Appalachian have paid off in Mr. Clarke's knowledge of educa- tion, but even that much school- ,- tiff JZ, -Vp fi if f Mr. Carl Clarke Principal, ASU, UNC-G Mr, Nick Smothers Asst.

My biggest achievement is not only mine, but one of the stu- dents and faculty. Building Glenn as a high school from scratch, and making it respect- able is our proudest accomplish- ment. We are now a power to be reckoned with - in athletics, in academics and in spirit. he commented. There are disap- pointments as well as victories in any job though.

Mr. Clarke - the principal, the decision-maker, and the per- son - all three faces are re- vered and respected. In all re- spects, he is a person worth knowing as a leader and as a friend.
