Collins, Morris Plotted Way To llew Scholastic Horizons by Janet Prather Always ready to offer a friendly word of advice and help us with our school problems is our principal of Kearney High School, Mr. Raymond Collins. Never too busy to stop and chat with a stu- dent, he is known as a friend as well as an adviser. And when a problem was too big to handle by ourselves we knew where to find Mr. Col- lins. It was often he who lent the helping hand, when some poor confused student was having trouble with a schedule, grades or a locker that refused to open. ' Keeping the students and teachers on the ball as well as enforcing rules and regulations was another big job involved in the principal- ship. Mr. Collins was interested in the students and could always bc found at school functions and activities, ready to promote new ones. As principal it was also his duty to sponsor the Stu- dent Advisory Board. Principal Raymond Collins I .WL rm.-1 Superintendent Paul Morris ln addition to his school responsibilities, our principal was chairman of the Managing Com- mittee for the Nebraska State Education Asso- ciation and a representative of the Delegate No. 4 Assembly of the Nebraska High School Ac- tivities. Under the leadership of Mr. Paul Morris, the Kearney schools have made rapid strides to- wards the highest standards a school can attain. Superintendent of the Kearney public schools, he has developed our system into one of the finest in the state. NVorking right along with the school 'board in making decisions for the schools, Superin- tendent Morris never failed to introduce the stu- dents' opinions and ideas. His main problem now concerns the construc- tion of the new elementary schools, which due primarily to his determination and effort will soon become a reality. He is already at work on new projects, and one of his future goals is the building of a new high school. Mr. Morris has endeavored to furnish us with the books, equipment, courses of study, ac- tivities and teachers that will be most beneficial to us. Page 9
