260 PRINCIPAL He'll take his shirt off his beck 'People clown there dicln't notice' by Rusty Biles He is neither an upcoming sex symbol nor modeling a new fashion of shirtless clothing. He's just Principal Leon Hagmann caught in an unsuitable circumstance. Mr. Hagmann attained this topless posi- tion by resting himself against the door frame in the main office unaware of the fresh coat of paint applied to the walls. After noticing the new streak of paint down his shirt, he discarded it to be cleaned, and resumed his duties. A report was due to be at the Ad- ministration Buildingf' said Mt. Hagmann, and you can't go in there without a coat and tie. Thus Mr. Hagmann spruced up as much as possible, putting a tie around his neck and a coat over his undershirt, and nonchalantly ventured to the Ad. Building. The funny thing about it was,'l said Mr. Hagmann, a lot of people down there didn't notice. Although Mr. Hagmann is not noted as a fashionable dresser, many think of him as a congenial administrator, who has worked with teachers and students efficiently for ten years. Providing a safe and comfortable environ- ment for students and teachers is Mr. Hagmann's main concern. To maintain such an environment, Mr. Hagmann tours the building and parking lot twice a day to check the condition of the building and to correct student misconduct. After dealing with matters on his regular curriculum, such as filling out forms and answering phone calls, Mr. Hagmann focuses on extracurricular activities. He is a prominent Buffalo fan, attending as many sports events and school functions as his schedule permits. He was present at many of the girls' basketball games, an event that doesn't ac- commodate a mass of people, and when the girls beat Richland Mr. Hagmann, full of ex- citement, tossed his cowboy hat in the air. Mr. Hagmann has many varied respon- sibilities but he attained one on Christmas that was apart from his administrative duties. During lunch, Mr. Hagmann was clothed in a Santa Claus outfit, while Mrs. Glenda Picha and Mrs. Bettye Wright served as his elves. They posed for pictures as students sat in Santa's lap. I have time fo fish and do some hunting when I finish doing school work about - twice a year, Mr. Hagmann said, hinting on the amount of work he has to accomplish. Each summer, the Hagmann family, grouped with several other families in- cluding assistant principal Tom Watkins' household, travel to Colorado to camp and trout fish. It's beautiful up there, said Mr. Hagmann, the stars are so close you can almost touch 'emi' A Principal Leon Hagmann fashions his different attire after getting paint on his shirt

Watkins, he's no 'Angell' On Campus suspension retuliutes by Rusty Biles Upon entering assistant principal Thomas Watkins' office, most students carrying disciplinary forms were not fearing getting licks, but had a feeling of depression towards the dreaded on-campus suspension class that would lead to their punishment. Since the transition between Mr. Watkins and assistant principal joe Angell, there has been a different attitude towards student misconduct. Mr. Watkins, along with assis- tant principals joAnn Kelley and Ed Logan, started a strict OCS program, which eliminated most paddling. I don't bust them unless they request it, said Mr. Watkins, but disposing of licks didn't make him an Angell, The OCS Pro- gram had very strict rules, only allowing two visits to the restrooms each day and no talk- ing. According to Mr. Watkins this method of punishment was developed to help pre- vent repreated acts of student misconduct, and it did . . . With this new discipline pro- gram malcontent quickly drained from ex- perienced OCS students, Mr. Watkins, like Mr. Angell, graduated from Haltom and both played football, Mr. Angell, as a senior, was a guard on the varsi- ty team, while sophomore Watkins was the center on the junior varsity. Mr. Watkins was assistant principal at Watauga junior High for six years before transferring to Haltom. 'l'hey're kids, no better or no worse than I expected, There are bad kids wherever you go, but there are some excellent ones too, said Mr. Watkins, referring to his move to Haltom. Mr. Angell transferred to North Oaks junior High to be assistant principal. Many students liked the manner of his disciplinary action, which usually resulted in paddling or staying after school, but those who visited the new law enforcer's office found that Mr. Watkins was no Angell,
