Getting his ankles wet He had a tough oct to follow. Mr. Lewis Williams suc- ceeded a principal who many claimed walked on water. Well, Williams didn't sit back and let his circumstances over- whelm him, He joked that he principal of Sem practiced water walking in a bathtub and admitted to getting his ankles wet! Williams also admitted that moving from inole Middle School to prin- cipal of a large high school was a con- siderable change. He noticed an in- crease in the maturity of the students, in the number of school activities, and in school spirit. Williams proclaimed, l'm amazed at the amount of Patriotism. And Williams did witness patriotism. On Monday, November 16, his first day at PPHS, Williams was greeted with welcome ban- ners and posters. The cold shoulders he expected were nowhere to be seen. But Williams was seen. Often with his wife, he attended activity after activity - a responsibility he earned with the title of a high school principal. His attendance at extra-curricular barely scratched the sur- face of his influence. Williams' presence was seen and felt by students and staff. Gone were the truly out- stondings y often in their place were Williams' let's all FIRST IMPRESSIONS went both ways, Williams was presented to the faculty Thurs- day, Nov. 12 by Hugh Kriever. Though mixed feelings were apparent, Williams lifted the veil of woe by speaking of his knowledge ofthe shoes he had to fill and being honored to serve as principal of Pinellas Park High School the school recogniz- ed for its Pride. have o good day. Gone were short sleeves, in their place were Williams' three piece suits. ln time, comparison of the two administrators was also gone. Williams began to cast his own shadow, convey his own per- sonality, and create his own policies. He claimed to be fair but firm in convictions, and demonstrated his diplomatic nature by em- phasizing rules reducing kissing in the halls and stiffening tardy policies. But all his policies didn't reduce student freedoms. Williams ap- proved a senior skit and cruise and stated that seniors deserved special privileges. His approvals on proposed activities started new Patriot traditions. Williams not only created tradi- tions, he perpetuated one. He continued the Patriot tradition of being a caring, hard working prin- cipal, determined to do his job well. lt took sheer determination to practice walking on water in a bath tub! FACULTY I 147
