' Mr. Frank W. Cox Superintendent of Schools From its establishment in I953, Princess Anne High School has maintained an outstanding ad- ministration. The principal, Mr. J. Warren Little- ton has served Princess Anne as its chief ad- ministrator for many years. He has seen Prin- cess Anne emerge from a small five grade junior and senior high school into a full-fledged high school, an outstanding Group A participant. This year the students of Princess Anne demonstrated their appreciation for his fine services by pre- senting him with an oil portrait. This portrait of the principal is displayed in the foyer of the auditorium. Mr. Edwin Charles has also rendered his in- valuable services to Princess Anne for many years. Both faculty and students have admired and re- spected his role as an executive administrator. The Princess Anne administrators are as ver- satile as they are efficient. One good example is the assistant principal, Pete Sachon. During the tall season he is better known by his alias, Coach Sachon, as he serves as Princess Anne's head football coach. ln the spring he assumes another title, that of Golf Coach. Mr. Sachon has helped Princess Anne acquire many athletic awards and honors as well as contribute many services as an assistant principal. ADMINISTRATION GUIDES FACULTY AND STUDENTS Mr. J.
