Mrs. Majella Myers Directs Activities Always appearing at school athletic events of every kind was the eleventh grade sub-school principal, Mr. Carl Lindstrom. He proved himself to be a capable coordinator of school events since many of our activities revolved around our sports programs. He sched- uled and directed games, secured offi- cials and helped to make athletics at P.C.H.S. good, clean fun. As principal of the junior class, he shared by lending an ear to student problems. Mrs. Majella Myers, sub-school prin- ciapl of the tenth grade, was the most familiar administrative face to students at P.C.H.S. Each and every morning she trekked to the Commons to begin the grueling task of marking attendance pas- ses. Reprimanding students for poor excuses or tardiness in picking up pas- ses, she managed to write passes with amazing speed. As director of student actitivies, she was a familiar figure at dances, sock hops, and on Club and Activities Day. What more difficult task could be assigned a principal than that of dealing with the largest class in the school? Assigning him the youngest class in the school and requiring him to see that its members were oriented made the task of ninth grade sub-school principal more difficult. Mr. T. Ray Dunavant survived through, and additionally directed the management of the buildings and grounds. Keeping close student-adminis- trator rapport, he found time to talk to students in all grades. He talked espe- cially to those students with parking problems. Surely some of the more difficult jobs at P.C.H.S. fell to the secretaries and helpers at the main office. Miss Helen Cecil — vocational school secretary, Mrs. Patty Williams — administrative secretary, and Mrs. Barbara Crockett — bookkeeper helped take care of paper- work and took some of the load off administrators. Facing irate students and, occasionally, irate faculty members did not make their days brighter, but with chins up, they kept their jobs effi- ciently done. The bleeping” heard throughout the day was controlled by Mrs. Bonnie Ward. She also received and relayed all incom- ing phone messages as well as transmit- ting many outgoing calls. Mrs. Shirley Umberger, secretary of attendance, kept records of students checking in and out, pulled absentee cards and shared the var- ied duties that befell the Main Office at MRS. MAJELLA H. MYERS Sub-School Principal of Tenth Grade Principal of Student Activities Radford College; B.S., M.S. MR. T. RAY DUNAVANT Sub-School Principal of Ninth Grade Principal for Buildings and Grounds Concord College, Madison College, Radford College; B.S., M.S. P.C.H.S.
