Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brinkman have been employed by the 0-G school as secretaries to the principal. They represent the kind, courteous, and patient people in their field. Many times they were asked to write excuses and tardy slips for the students who attend our school. Besides this, Mrs. Brinkman served as a study hall monitor during the lunch period. Congratulations, ladies, for your understanding and efficiency. Q. Wnicjltt Zhomas Q. Wright Principal Mr. Wright has served as O-G’s principal for the past four years. Although many think that a principal's job is an easy one, there are many hardships placed upon the shoulders of the men who are “big” enough to accept such a position. Mr. Wright was faced with many such decisions this year of which the outcome could have made, or broken the unity of the students and teachers. However, at last glance, everything seemed to be normal. Principals usually have to take and listen to all the complaining by both teachers and students. But since no one is perfect-although everyone is entitled to his own opinion-no one should be allowed to pass judgment on a man for doing his job the best he knows how as he follows his conscience. 7
