the 1957 Qlahalier is hehinateh in 1 mr. Bill filling Mr. May moved to Cookeville in June of 1966 and set out to organize a school. He was confronted by an unfinished building, a strange group of teachers, and a student body composed of students from different schools. With these three obstacles to overcome, Mr. May began working to mold all three into a school. He did it and he did it well. Through the first year of the Senior High's existence, both students and faculty found Mr. May to be a principal who would take time to listen to individual prob- lems. He did not make arbitrary decisionsg rather, he listened to many points of view before making decisions. Mr. May's policy of treating everyone equally and fairly won him the respect of the students and the faculty. Because we feel that Mr. May, more than any other one person, made the first year at Putnam County Senior High School a success, the 1967 Cavalier staff proudly dedicates this history of the 1966-1967 school year to him.
