Going BvThe Rules v. y A familiar face became Principal and a new face assumed the role of Assistant Principal. Mr. James Viramontes stepped up to replace Mr. John P. G. McKenzie as Principal and Mr. Oscar Kellner became Assistant Principal. The rules of the game were the same but the new men at the helm added some extra zest. Mr. Kellner's quietness in the face of stormy situations was an inspiration to all. He was the man with all the answers. While the administrators were enforcing the rules, the School Board agonized over desegregation, worried about cutbacks in funding of some vital programs, and talked about a need to return to the 'basics.' The year wos not altogether successful, but the effort was admirable. t) With o captive audience, Mr. A. J. W. Mortimer, ounselor, explains a facet of the testing progrom to ■ophomores.
