Mr. Hernandez Disciplines, Mr. Bailey Plans Courses Coach Hector Hernandez, long a favorite of Rickards students, continued his job as dean of students. Mr. Hernandez's job was to deal with student behavior and attendance. As disciplinarian of the school he met many students and tried to deal individually with their problems. By walking the hallways, in the lunchroom, down in the parking lot and up on the hilI,' he found many students with whom to deal. Because of his job, Coach Hernandez got a chance to meet and talk with many parents, working many problems out through the home. Sometimes, though, he had to take a firm action and suspend students to try to help, them. Probably the least seen of the assistant principals was Mr. l.W. Bailey. Yet he was one of the men most re- sponsible for the choices of classes at Rickards. Working with the curriculum council, he helped set up the classes so the scheduling office could make a master schedule, He acted as liaison between the school and the county in getting the Council's requests approved.

New Assistant Principal Helps in Guidance Coming to Rickards from a county position to fill the new position at Rickards of Assistant Principal of Voca- tional Guidance, Mr. Cliff Corley started many projects. One of them was to alert students and parents to the many vocational programs of Rickards. A major effort was the assemblies in the gym for each grade. There, faculty from all areas of the program gave short talks on their respective fields. These assemblies were mainly for students who wanted to obtain workable skills in various occupations that they could use right after high school whether or not they went to college. Mr. CorIey's main concerns were VOE, CBE, DCT, Work Experience and the home economics, agriculture, indus- trial arts and business education departments. Mr. Phillip Nelson, Assistant Principal for Administra- tion was not new to Rickards. His responsibilities were much the same as the principal's, because, in Dr. Poulson's absence, he acted as head man. His duties included overseeing the campus, not only maintenance, but stu- dent discipline and problems. Also under Mr. Nelson were the faculty, buildings and supplies. -, - ' J .-t A f.. --f'.-Q fm- - .N L.
