Time maices itseit evident in aii his activities-limiting and demanding. Before 8:00 a. m. each day Lincoin high's principal arrives inconspicuousiy. in a moment he is in his office, iiteraiiy piunging into eariy morning misceiiany. Pre-school conferences crowding in, sound system announcements to edit, and then perhaps it's time to preside over an assemhiy, or initiate sophomores into the mysteries of requirements, grades, and extra- curricuiar activities at one of their Weeidy convocations. Thus hegins a characteristic day for ivir. iviardis. Vvhat is the position of a principal? VVhat duties is he expected to perform in any school day?

His woric is much more than mereiy presiding at a shiny desk in a iarge room piastered with hooics, certificates, and pictures. Groups-with-an-ideau demand appointments, the maiis hring a wide variety of time consum- ing questionnaires from inquisitive sources, and prospective empioyers write for graduates, schooi records. Nor are community groups con- tent with his mere attendance at their gath- erings-he must serve as a speaker, otiicer, and committee memher. Everyday, iittie heard ot
