30 Mr. Morrow Values Improvements of His Second ear Enjoying a second and smoother year with PHS is principal Twain Morrow. This year gave him the advantage of already being familiar with Paschalites, along with the corresponding advantage of having students familiar with him. Mr. Morrow firmly believes that this year marks definite improvement for Paschal. Not only does this trend have root in his additional understanding of the faculty, office staff, student body, and general attitude and desires of the school, but it also arises from elevated spirit, reflecting a successful year athlctically. Also helping this year run more smoothly is the familiarity with the extended day schedule and the in- dependent study policy that were new to all last year and therefore necessitating a period of adjustment. Describing his policy as including an active student voice in all matters, Mr. Morrow adds his intention of being receptive to innovation but not necessarily insensitive to some tradi- tion.'i His goal also includes Hkceping the academic climate progressivcn and meeting pupils individually.
