From The Principal’s Desk Every School Year is decidedly different-arid that is what makes life interesting. have had the opportu- nity to talk to many of you in some capacity; and I hope that in my contact with you. I have impressed upon you one basic belief that I have. That belief is that each person is ultimately responsible for his actions. Tony Baretta said. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. This can also be applied to positive actions as well as negative ones. You. as an individ- ual. are ultimately responsible for your actions. Don't be afraid to accept the results of your behavior. It is so easy to blame someone else for everything that goes wrong. It is always easier to blame a teacher for correcting you than it is to see that you were not obeying the rules. I firmly believe that the administration, faculty and staff at NWG are in your favor and have your best interests at heart. No one is out to get you. Learn to see the whole picture of any situation and to accept your share of the responsibility. By doing this, you are well on the way to becoming a responsi- ble adult. Jerry E. Bryan Principal
