Such a man was our new principal, Mr. Myron Johnson. Well liked and respected by the students. he was known for his enthusiastic support of their activities. For the first time, Osseo had two assistant principals, Mr. Richard Carter and Mr. Daniel Barnett. It was their job to deal directIy with the students. Both men han- dled attendance and discipline as well as performing other duties. Mr. Carter worked with scheduling and Mr. Barnett with the Student Council and the parking problems. We have tried to create an 'esprit de corps' and build a feeling of pride in Osseo High School and its accomplishments, said Mr. Carter. Mr. Barnett told of the results of their efforts, It was a hard job that was made easier by a well-trained and dedicated fac- ulty and a great student body.
