Memorial Administrators. . . The primary responsibility of any high school principal is to improve the instruction within his school. To accomplish this task, the principal must resolve many difficult questions and overcome an equal number of awesome obstacles. I per- sonally feel that the most difficult area of responsibility l have today is that of communication. In this day when it is expected that we must work with the student activist, the militant teacher, the irate or uninformed parent, com- munication becomes a key to any successful effort to im- prove instruction in the public high school. lt is impor- tant to me that nothing interferes with the educational process of Memorial High School. Subsequently, the channels of communication must always be open and available to all that need them. The most rewarding part of any principal's job is when the educational process has total support of stu- dents, teachers and staff, and the instruction is well re- ceived and well administered. It is refreshing for a prin- cipal to walk down the corridors of his building and 'feel' the learning process emanating from every room and permeating the very air he breathes. When this hap- pens, the many responsibilities of administering an effec- tive educational program become a challenge rather than a chore to the principal. -Mr. William Brill, Principal l enjoy my position here because l like working with people, especially people who cooperate and have an optimistic attitude towards their responsibilities. The thing that l really dislike most about my job, though, is having to work with discipline problems of young people that are not mature enough to accept the responsibilities of their actions. -Mr..
