Cassandra Anderson watches as Vice Principal Mr. Ray Dunavant changes her combination. Mr. Carl Lindstrom supervises activities at the William Fleming-Cougar bas- ketball game. Administration Mr. Dewey Wilson continued to serve as principal of Pulaski County High School in 1976-77. He was responsible for making decisions about virtually every aspect of the school. Much of his time was spent in conferences with stu- dents, teachers, assistant principals, other staff members, parents, or visi- tors. He also kept the master calendar, wherein simply avoiding scheduling conflicts was often a major difficulty. Mr. Robert Riley served as vice prin- cipal in charge of the vocational build- ing. He directed the activities of the teachers and students in that building. He also worked to keep the building and the surrounding campus spotless. Mr. Elmer Huff, in addition to duties as vice principal of the Senior Class, was responsible for the P.C.H.S. instructional program. It was upon his shoulders that most problems with regard to the self-study and evaluation fell. Athletic director and Junior Class vice principal Mr. Carl Lindstrom faced the seemingly impossible task of sched- uling the myriad athletic contests at P.C.H.S. He also attended most of these contests. Appearing at every dance, sock hop, and activity at P.C.H.S., Mrs. Majella Myers fulfilled her duties as director of student activities. She also served as vice principal of the Sophomore Class and served as attendance chief in charge of the registers. Mr. Ray Dunavant’s double duties included the vice principalship of the Freshman Class and responsibility for building and grounds at the P.C.H.S. campus. Parking lots posed special problems for Mr. Dunavant who assigned parking spaces and issued parking permits to faculty and students. Weary at midnight, Mrs. Majella Myers keeps a watch at the entrance to the Winter Formal. I 13

(TOP RIGHT) Mrs. Shirley Umberger smiles in the midst of preparing the absentee sheet. Clerical personnel kept the P.C.H.S. family operating smoothly. Mrs. Bar- bara Crockett, bookkeeper, handled all moneys for P.C.H.S. She also sent bills and payments, handled the financial aspects of cap and gown and letter jacket orders, and sold tickets at the basketball games. Switchboard opera- tor Mrs. Bonnie Ward handled all incoming and outgoing telephone calls. She also served as an information source for the faculty. Mrs. Shirley Umberger, secretary, dealt with tardy and or absent students. She typed the daily absentee sheet and was responsi- ble for signing in or out students who attended school for less than a full day. Miss Helen Cecil, vocational school secretary, operated her office with her usual efficiency. She not only chan- neled communications in the voca- tional building but also managed the bills and payments for services and equipment for the trade and industrial classes. English department secretary Mrs. Phyllis Cram moved to the administra- tion after Mrs. Patty Williams resigned in November. Mrs. Cram typed the offi- cial correspondence the administra- tors and numerous materials to be duplicated and dispensed to the stu- dents and or the faculty. In addition to innumerable clerical duties, Mrs. Cram efficiently cared for students who came to the clinic with minor injuries or ill- nesses. Mr. Milton Aust responded to innu- merable “beep-beep-beep” signals from the office each day and attempted to keep the building at an even sixty-eight degrees. Miss Jeannie White held forth in a room overflowing with study hall students while Mr. Danny Wolfe kept in-school suspension. 15
