fytelt 8 Q on toif I cquiring academic acu- men was Mr. Ed Ellis' goal in applying for the job of Vice Principal at Prairie Middle School. One of my personal goals is to get experience as an administratorf, said Ellis. Ellis was at Overland for the first quarter of the school year before as- suming his responsibilities as Prairie Middle School Vice Principal. He had wanted to start his new job with the new school year, instead of leav- ing Overland after it had begun. 'SI applied tfor the jobl last summer, said Ellis. I assumed that the process would go quicker than it didf' Ellis had been a social studies teacher and the Activities Director. At Prairie, his new duties not only included the responsibilities of being Vice Principal, but also the responsi- bilities of being Activities Director and Athletic Director. There has been a dramatic change in my respon- sibilities. I do things I never did at all before, said Ellis. Some of his new duties were teacher approval, aca- demic review, and dealing with the special services and the custodians. When he assumed his duties at Prairie, students at Overland knew he would be missed. I think heis a big loss to the activities department. Not only was he a big influence on the social studies department, but he was behind everything that went on at Overland, said Sr. Steve Hayutin. Sr. John Morgan added, He was really supportive of the Scout. He'd get us passes for Air Band so we could get up close and get good pictures. lim sorry to see him go because he came up with so many activities and got everyone involvedf, Steve also said, I'll miss him because he was somebody you could always talk to and he would understand. He really understands kids. f'It,s different dealing with a youn- ger student, said Ellis. But I have found that kids are kids. I am enjoy- ing them just as much as l have en- joyed working with Overland stu- dents. Even with the enjoyment his new job provided, however, Ellis missed certain aspects of his previous job. He said, What I miss the most is the people-my teacher friends and student friendsf' His friends, both students and teachers, knew that they would miss him, too, and so concocted various things to be remembered by. Students signed a large poster with messages of farewell. Teachers threw a surprise party for him, complete with pre- sents, refreshments, and a stripper, who stripped down to a relatively modest superhero costume. Everyone wished him well at that institution across the esplanade. Rob H GQING AWAY SURPRISE parties Often in, Mr. Ellis was no exception.
