Mr. Russo Leads Prescott High Sets Quality Education as Goal Mr. Russo was active and capable in fulfilling the numerous jobs and duties of a principal. His main job was to co-ordinate all activities and services of the school and inform the students, faculty, and auxiliary personnel of them. This is Mr. Russo's second year as principal of PHS. In past years he has served PHS as a baseball and football coach, civics teacher, counselor, and assis- tant principal. Mr. Russo enjoys reading, music, and golf in his spare time. He is a member of the Advisory Board of the Prescott Boys' Club and the Prescott Sunrise Lions. The following is Mr. Russo's message to the students of PHS: It is my earnest hope, wish, and desire that each of you enjoy every success in his or her future endeav- ors. Similarly, it is my genuine hope that each of you is a more sensitive, kind, courteous and con- siderate person as a consequence of your intellectual as well as extra-curricular activities in Prescott High School. It seems to me, that a quality education is synonymous with being a quality person. If the staff of Prescott High School has assisted you in achieving this most noble goal, then we shall have fulfilled, in part, our sacred obligation to you. —15—
