From sun up to sun down administrators were on the go. Answering ringing phones, directing assemblies, and over- seeing the new construction allowed Mr. D. Frank Clark, big chief, just time to glance at his chair. With a build like a Dallas Cowboy and a heart to match, Mr. Luther Robinson communi- cated with students, whether checking new SHers or taking charge in Mr. Clark’s absence. Mr. Marvin Foster, vice-prin- cipal, assisted freshmen and sophomores with schedules and study problems and supervised Bldg. II. A jack-of-all trades, Mr. Pierce Grisham, technical and vocational dean, in addition to his academic duties, filled soda water machines, directed park- ing, inspected passes, discussed student problems, and supervised detention hall. Holding the keys to the press wing at Alamo Sta- dium, he okayed entrance at sports events. Chiefs Advise, Assist E. 22 Faculty: Administration

With a sly smile, Mr. Clark, who loves practical jokes, announced his birthday incor- rectly just to receive an early party! He also enjoys riding the rapids; but during the rat race of the school year, his central interest was going to sleep at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Foster enjoys the great outdoors not only as a camper and fisherman, but also as a gar- dener growing cucumbers, toma- toes , squash, and okra. Sports are his thing. Mr. Rob- inson teams up with his son at every opportunity to play golf and tennis or to go camping and fishing. Well traveled, Mr. Grisham enjoys photography and analyz- ing world and state affairs. Before a conversation with him one had better have the facts; he's a history major. (A.) We plan another open house in March, Mr. Sergio Velasquez informs Mr. Clark. (B.) Mr. Robinson tunes in the world series. (C.) Another day, another bottle, says Mr. Gris- ham while filling the soda machine. (D.) Katherine Carter asks Mr. Robinson for a schedule change. (E.) What seems to be the problem? Mr. Foster asks Charles Woeffler. (F.) Mr. Clark intently watches SH’s football team tie Fox Tech's. Faculty: Administration 23
