The decision makers fit the puzzle pieces together. I was recently asked what 1 thought was the most outstanding feature of TCHS. During this my first year at TCHS, 1 can say 1 have been impressed with two elements which are absolutely essential to a good school. First, the student body has a great deal of enthusiasm for making this school as good as it can possibly be. Second, the entire faculty has a professional and dedicated con- cern for providing the best possi- ble instructional program for TCHS students. Together they represent a great potential. In light of these two elements, my job as principal is made im- measurably easier due to the high degree of cooperation from students and faculty. However, I have come to realize that I have a great responsibility also. Potential is worthless if never brought to realization, and my responsibility as principal requires that I pro- vide the material, support and en- couragement to realize the hidden potential of TCHS. The above was a response from our school principal, Albert J. Rother, when we asked him what he felt about our school and his first year. A principal needs support from all segments of the school com munity. Dr. Rother is fortunate to have the staff with which he works. 24

The Rank and File of TCHS is a composite of many different talents. Beginning with the lowly freshman through the high riding senior, everyone has his goals and expectations for suc- cess. The principal, teachers, lunchroom staff, and custodians, all work cooperatively to provide the best learning conditions for students. The students and the school staff function together as a whole unit. They are like chain links — each part complement each other and no part can function without the help of others. The school staff provides the instruc- tion and wisdom the students need to grow mentally, and socially, and the students give back that wisdom when they become productive adults in society. 23

The front office is the main sta- tion of TCHS; and the staff is a big piece in the operation of TCHS. Mrs. Bobbye Williamson is our Fiscal Manager, for she oversees the funds for the school and the expenditures for all clubs and organizations. Mrs. Donna Ansel is the head secretary for the front office, she types, answers the phone, sorts mail; etc. She’s very talented when it comes to secretarial work. Her fingers are like lightening when she sits down at the typewriter. When it comes to shorthand and dictation, she has it down before you say it. Mrs. Linda Bratcher is the front office aide. She is in charge of reproducing copies of tests and providing clinical assistance for the staff. Also she handles the selling of school supplies, and answers the phone.
