Because of the complexity and re- sponsibiliies involved in administer- ing a school of our size, the vice principal becomes an essential ex- tension of the principal. Helping foster an atmosphere of learning, assisting in the develop- ment of new programs, interpreting and implementing policy, scheduling activities, conferences with students, teachers, and parents are but a few of the many and varied activities of a vice principal. This position is a pleasure for me- as I have the opportunity to share with the students in the joy of a victory by one of our teams, to ob- serve students achieve in their many endeavors, and to watch the change in a sophomore as he becomes, though agonizing at times, a mature senior.

The Principal must assume the leadership in setting the tone of the school. Under his direction teachers assume the responsibility of providing the academic climate for student ad- vancement. This direct relationship in which all faculty members are re- spected provides freedom for new ideas and methods in teaching. The Principal is responsible for of- fering the student an opportunity to change his behavior in order to attain a fuller understanding of himself and the society in which he lives. The constant evaluation of curriculum needs for formal class experiences, and the evaluation of practices within the school designed to give students a sense of belonging are always goals of the administration. ln addition to working with the fac- ulty and directing the general policies of the school, the principal is charged with the responsibility of supervising extracurricular activities, registration, class scheduling, transcript process- ing, and the keeping of permanent records. He also oversees the guid- ance department, is responsible for building use and upkeep, and for di- recting the use and security of ac- tivity money. The general operation of the school which includes food service, transportation, attendance, and public relations naturally becom the duties of the Principal. The Principal in the last analysis i the agent of the School Board an Superintendent in the enforcing an directing of the policies of the dis trict. Ftegular reports are made a evidence of performance to the loca board to the State of Kansas, and t national agencies. One never get bored in their type of work becaus of the diversity of tasks and the thril of working with many people wh have many aims and objectives. G. Welc
