Assistant principal Joe Houston talks on... HIS JOB: Definately Mr. VandeWater and I function very closely together. As far as chief disciplinarian, I look at that as being a part of an overall situation involved with the entire faculty and student body. Of course there is a difference between control and discipline. Controlling a situation and making sure nobody gets out of line is one thing and not being around and let- ting them discipline themselves is another. DRINKING: Speaking in generalities, I have come to the conclu- sion that the community condones drinking by juve- niles. Parties with eighty kids don't take place if par- ents don't condone it. I have often thought that the primary function should involve parents in that area. I can't legislate what you do at home even though we can legislate what goes on at school. It's a problem with society. The main reason we get involved with that type of thing is because of athletics. The easy thing would be to say we don't want anything to do with the problem, but that's not realistic because we are involved. THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 76-77 SCHOOL YEAR The major thing to me during any school year would have to be the cooperation on the parts of the students, staff, and the community. The community in general understands what we're doing and why whether they agree with us or not. I think cooperation has been a key factor. I think the shop facility out in back that is being built is also a highlight. THE CLASS OF 77 One thing that I think anyone should do would be to stand for something and have some type of foundation. I hope that they accept and respect other people and treat each other as people. I would also like to chal- lenge them not to give away their integrity especially since nobody can take their integrity away. 21
