SOCIAL STUDIES Bro. Anton, History, Religion, Math Bro. Loyola, History, Religion Mr. Howard Patton, History, Weightlifting Mr. Bill Poole, History, Weightlifting FOCUS HOWARD PATTON Which football coach gives the most memorable halftime speeches? Which social studies teacher has the most distinctive Mississippi accent? Which coach has led his team to 3 consecutive PRC conference champi¬ onships? If your answer to each of these questions is Howard Patton, you’re right! Howard Patton has been a teacher for 10 years, 7 of them in various instructional and coaching positions in Harrison County. Coming to SSC in 1977, Howard has distinguished himself as an excellent teacher, a win¬ ning coach, and a man of unlimited energy and enthusiasm. Next year Howard will direct his efforts to the realm of politics, as he has announced his candidacy for Harrison County Superintendent of Education. Why would a person who is so successful in the classroom want to enter politics? I’ve always wanted a leadership position in education,” stated Howard. I would like to see politics taken out of education. Should I win the office, I would work on three goals. First, I would make decisions based on student welfare; secondly, I would strive to bring the basics of education back to the public schools; finally, I would hope to improve the effi¬ ciency of the educational operation by delegating more authority and cutting back on excessive administrative costs.” Howard plans on bringing his campaign directly to the voters. People today want to meet the person they elect. I’m going to knock on many doors this summer so people can know personally who I am and what I stand for. Howard says he will miss teaching and coaching, but he feels he can do more good for people in an administrative capacity. If Howard approaches politics with the same enthusiasm-and dedication which have distinguished him as a teacher, he will bring a new dimension to education in Harrison County. We at Stanis¬ laus wish him luck in his effort. 24 The School Day
