MR. LEE YARBROUGH Principal Many Detailed Tasks Keep Mr. Yarbrough Busy. Mr. Yarbrough, our versatile principal, meets the problems and demands of a large student body with the ease and assurance of an expert. He takes care of many behind-the-scene duties with interest and enthusiasm. Mr. Yarbrough has these areas of responsibility: organizing and maintaining records of pupils; organizing the program of instruction; super- vising those responsible for instruction; organizing stu- dent activity programs; maintaining public relations programs; and other duties of equal importance. A principal’s duties involve most of all the important parts of the educational process. He has been and is concerned with pupils, learning materials, and teach- ing methods. Because of these many responsibilities, Mr. Yarbrough rarely finds time, except during the summer vacation, to pursue his hobbies of fishing, reading, and golf. 17

MRS. HELEN SUTHERUN French, Spanish. Junior English MR. DAVIS WEBB World History, Government Faculty Teachers Help Us to Develop Understanding The extremely difficult task of instilling in young minds a knowledge of the world and a curiosity about it presents a huge challenge to every teacher. His ingenuity and resourcefulness are called upon at all times of the day to make difficult ideas more un- derstandable. To accomplish this gigantic task, he makes use of the facilities given him - colorfully il- lustrated textbooks, maps, charts, and films. To stimulate curiosity, he phrases statements and ques- tions so that other questions will arise in students’ minds. To encourage pupils to enlarge upon their classroom activities, he explains, defines, and adds details to basic textbook content. Again and again he must discover new ways of presenting his material. His resourcefulness encompasses all of a teacher’s ed- ucation. Emulating Plato's statement, those having torches will pass them on to others, a teacher accepts his duty with willingness, courage, and patience. MISS RUBY LANGLEY Librarian MRS.
