PAGE TEN South Charleston Higl1's Principal What a sweet delight the quiet life affords. Although written years ago by a poet, this statement might fittingly be said in regard to Mr. Robert L. Bryan who has served as principal of South Charleston High School since 1927. It is often said that only a brilliant mind can really comprehend mathematics. Mr. Bryan, having served as assistant instructor of mathematics during his college years, is quite a mathematician. Lebanon, Tennessee is Mr. Bryan's home town, but he has lived in West Virginia for seventeen years. Prior to becoming principal, he spent three years as a teacher. Ambition and a goal toward which to work are important qualities for success, says Principal Bryan who has obtained a B. S. and a M. S. degree, and has attended Cumberland University, the University of Tennessee, and West Virginia University. Often Mr. Bryan is the silent guest of a class. Entering a school room so quietly that many students do not note his arrival, he will visit a class. Some- how he seems to see all and hear all. Although it astonishes students, Mr. Bryan can quote many definitions just as they are in the book. Since he leads a very busy life, participating in community and church affairs, the answer seems to be that he has a very good memory. Sometimes wearing a green sweater, Mr. Bryan will affably chat with students. He is always willing to help each individual or class all he can. Mr. Bryan has many hobbies among which he lists woodwork as the most outstanding.
