Estabrook, when asked his feel- ings about his new position as Superintendent of the Rappa- hannock School System. He hopes to have the opportunity for more personal involvement with students, teachers, and oth- ers in the community. He works with the School Board, the mem- bers of which he says he has found to be very open and hon- est. He makes recommendations for the school system and is re- sponsible for drawing up the school budget each year. “I plan on learning all of the practices and procedures of the school division this year”, stated Jerald S. Lysik, newly appointed Assistant Superintendant of Schools. Mr. Lysik comes from Syracuse, New York, where he was director of eight middle schools. He likes our relatively small school system as opposed to the larger one that he has known, because here he is not “a small piece of the picture.” Here he has a larger variety of jobs. Transportation is one of his con- cerns. He works with Mr. Huff on the purchase and mainten- ance of the school system’s vehi- cles. He also works with Title I, establishing budgets for the pro- gram and making sure that the money allotted to it is forwarded to the right areas. Another new face at the School Board Office is Mrs. Faye Suddith. Her job consists of keeping track of the books and processing the payroll for all school employees. When buying lunch, you have seen Mrs. Judith N. Burke collecting your money at the lunch counter. She is the cafeteria coordinator and man- ages the payroll for the cafeteria workers. If you’ve ever had a rea- son to call the School Board Of- fice, you have probably talked with Miss Judy Atkins. In her position as secretary to the Su- perintendent, Miss Atkins han- dles correspondence, answers the telephone, and makes appoint- ments. “If the girls in the office left, the office would come to a halt”, stated Mrs. Jody Wingfield, coordinator for the Title I pro- gram, which consists of supple- mental reading and math classes that are financed by federal funds. Her job involves filling out government forms, book- keeping, and the payroll for the employees of Title I. 16

A dministra tion The office personnel helped our days at RCHS to run smoothly and efficiently. Ever- yday some of us confronted Mr. Wingfield, who listened pa- tiently to our class or club fund raising ideas and projects. Mr. Toth has varied duties, one of which is discipline. Ev- ery morning he issues excuses for absences. In addition, he sponsors the Varsity Club and manages the athletic activities of the school. “She is a quiet and efficient individual who assumes much responsibility,” said Mr. Wing- field when asked about the sec- retary of RCHS, Ms. Brenda Clark. Ms. Clark graduated from RCHS in 1969 and was hired as the school secretary in 1978. She is always very helpful and understanding to students as well as to faculty. Mr. Dennis B.
