OPENING the Board of Education has really been cracking down on adminis- trators, Winter felt it was neces- sary to be in the middle of what- ever it was that was going on with- in the school, so he could better evaluate the students, teachers, and the overall curriculum. Winter felt that one of the positive aspects of the new plan was being able to have a more justified opinion of what was happening amongst the students and teachers. I feel like I should and intend to get in there and say if they fthe studentsl have done a good job, Winter said. As we all know, education is a very important and valuable part of our lives. We usually associate education with the traditional 3- Fi's, which are very important, but I also feel that there is more to edu- cation. Education is also teaching the fourth R, responsibility. Fie- sponsibility is taught through the 3-D's, dedication, determination, and discipline. The 3-D's are taught in the classroom but are also a very big part of Activities - The Other Half of Education. Ac- tivities must be done in harmony and cooperation with the class- room and should occur, as much as possible, outside the school day. I am very proud of all stu- dents we have involved in activities at SLHS. Many students are learn- ing the 3-D's through their involve- ment in these activities. It is a fact that those students involved in ac- tivities have a higher G.P.A., fewer absences, and a lower dropout ra- tio. I would like to see continued support from parents, students, teachers and the community for high school students to continue to learn the 3-D's, Winter said. wang

1 4 OPENING t THIS ONES l F06 O O O Mr. Larry Winter by Suzy Howell Hurts So Good echoed through Principal Mr. Larry Win- ter's head as he rounded the final curve of the seemingly endless 660 yard run, This was an optional part of one of the changes brought about for Winter by Superinten- dent Mr, Gerald McClure. To en- able Winter to get a better picture of what went on at athletic prac- tices, he was told to attend at least one practice for each sport. So 'far, the practices have gone really well, said Winter. l have had the chance to observe the coaches in practice and to become aware of the overall attitudes of the stu- dents working together as a team. Winter really experienced the team atomosphere when he at- tended one of the cross country practices. Winter put his best foot forward and actually joined the team members in a 660 yard run. I paid for it in the long run. It hurt, Winter said but added that he really enjoyed getting more in- volved with the kids once again. Winter also tried to participate in a few of the academic events. For instance, he rode along with the newspaper class on one of their field trips, partially because he felt the journey would be interesting, but mainly to see that the students were able to properly utilize the time and effort put forth by the staff to offer the trip. He also par- ticipated in other field trips as well. This way, in the future Winter will feel more confident about whether or not to approve such trips. Winter felt more willing and able to make changes in the school system since he's finally settled into his job after being principal for three years. I guess my number one goal for this year is to get more involved with the teachers and help them out as much as l possibly can said Winter. Since Changes boost the physical role as well as the social role carried out and supported by administrator Enrollment Down Enrollment was the first sign of the new year begin- ning. Mr. Winter and the staff were there to get stu- dents ready for the big event. Among the activities going on were filling out health forms, checking out lockers, confirming sched- ules, changing classes, paying for books, and buying lunch cards. Princi- pal Mr. Larry Winter said, The enrollment was down this year because of a small freshmen class coming in. There were 196 students who enrolled for the year. Lights, camera, action.
