'X 1 .,,. ... f i we-s...,, i'!l+ s X f if 551 is . -:V . -Q Principal Sam Ma For the past dozen years, the rudder of the SHS Pirate ship has been under the steady and capable hand of Mr. Sam A. May. Having successfully piloted SHS into smooth waters, except for a stray sand bar here and there, Mr. May has opted for an unspeci- fied tour of shore duty and an R and Rn stint as assistant superintendent. And so in july, it is yo-ho-ho and away we go for Mr. May. During his twenty-two years of service in the SISD, Mr. May has sacrificed uncounted hours, innumerable B.T.U.ls of energy, and 1.75 pounds C7945 gramsj of hair for the well being of the district. Mr. May served for a time as a classroom teacher in junior high as well as a principal at Austin Elementary. Discovering high school administration was a gravy train and, anyway, wanting to use his B.S. training in animal husbandry, Mr. May opted to become high school principal when the present building was opened. In spite of an almost endless chain of irate parents, disturbed pupils, and grumpy staff members fa state of affairs unavoidably attached to the principal's titlej Mr. May has never lost the ability to lower the boom in a friendly fashion C unless it is necessary, in which case he lowers the BOOM!,,j. Mr. May's door has always been open to pupils and teachers alike-a condition which has led to confusion on occasion when he has tried to discover who walked off with his fresh ball-point pen. In spite of it all, Mr. May has invariably dealt with pupils and staff like a real gentleman. Having decided to lay aside the supervision of teachers, pupils, and other educational types, Mr. May can look forward to super- vising bus schedules, budget requests and all kinds of other good stuff. The unfounded rumor that Mr. May is leaving SHS to star in a remake of the Kojak television series is sheer nonsense-a short mini-series maybe-but not a full series. At any rate, pupils and staff of SHS wish Mr. May well in his new position. While the anchor may have been dragging occasion- ally and the sails have been set at half mast at times, Mr. May kept the galleon afloat-and that has been no mean task. It is time for a heartfelt salute to the captain as he sails happily off into the sunset. Good luck, Mr. May, and Thanks for it all. Thanks are due Counselor Ray Ferguson for this tribute.
