It took six adminis- trators to insure the proper cover- age for the more than thirteen hundred students that populated OHS. A tight administrative team made school life run more easily. At the top of the pyramid was Principal John McLay. Mr. McLay made sure that Osceola followed the proper county guide- lines and he was often the final word in any dispute over policy or discipline. For the underclass- men, Mr. Willie Matheny, Mr. Rick Wagar and Ms. Sadie Stat- en were the Assistant Principals that dealt directly with their problems. Ms. Denise Hart was in charge of the seniors. Ms. Hart also complied the schoolis news- letter. Mr. Wager had the added responsibility of overseeing all plant operations. Ms. Staten han- dled student transportation, and Mr. Matheny was in charge of textbooks. Mr. McLay and Ms. Hart spent much of the year preparing the school for the audit that was conducted in February. While Ms. Hart and Ms. Ware share lunch duty. 174lAdministration working for OHS, both of these busy administrators advised other schools on how to prepare for thxe audit. Mr. Allyn Ramker kept a huge amount of activities from over- lapping in his job as Activities Di- rector. He was also in charge of eligibility for students. Together our administrators made life a lot easier for all. -2 ...J ,.ii A.R Rick Wagar discusses the absence policy with a concerned parent.

X 5553, A World of Experience Experience has always been important to Mrs. Worley. As a science teacher she has trans- ferred this idea to her students. In the following interview, Mrs. Worley gave some insightful com- ments about her busy and very interesting life. How did you feel being the vale- dictorian of your class at such a young age? It was both frightening and devastating. I had been offered a scholarship to Pitt University, but everyone felt that I was too young to enter college, especially such a 176!FacuIty big university. No one would lis- ten to what I wanted. What degrees do you hold and in what subjects are they? I have a B.S. in Education, Bi- ology and Chemistry, M.S. in Molecular Genetics, M.S. in Cur- riculum and Instruction and 30 graduate hours in Computer Sci- ence. How do you spend your leisure time? Since I work 16 hours a day, I really enjoy my leisure time. I like to scuba dive and dissect comput- er programs. 5 2sg.Mafn What are your hobbies? We've heard that hang gliding is one! Mainly scuba diving and com- puters. I will eventually learn to fly. What was one of your more un- usual experiences in the field of science? While doing my research in ge- netics I had to work with children with Downeis Syndrome. I also traveled around the country pre- senting at conferences which al- lowed me to meet many promi- nent people in my field.
