If anyone else sat on Mr Newman’s new TR-7 it was two weeks detention. Principal Dick Newman casts an apprehensive eye over the unfinished student center wondering what the weatherman has in store. fl shake-up in the administrative ranks and a bright new student center and library were the highlights of the GPHS year. Gone were the department chairmen, while a new vice-principal, Mr. Brauner, was added. Mr. Dickinson joined Mr. Sparlin as a dean and former dean, Mr. Baker, became Athletic Director when Mr. Loffer retired. In addition to their administrative duties they were placed in charge of academic departments with Mr. Brauner heading up social studies. Mr. Finley took charge of math and science while Mr. Sparlin was at the helm of health and P.E. Remodeling the building to accomodate a new student center, library and counseling area was another big change. The center provided a place for students to relax, study or visit. Adjoining the student center was the home of the counselors. This arrangement facilitated students in talking with their counselor in a more convenient and pleasant surrounding. The new library merged the English and Main libraries. The new area was occupied in late March and early April. Sometimes Mr. Newman takes drastic steps to discourage visitors from entering his office. —
