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.

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

In addition to baseball, he also helps coach the football team and serves as one of the sponsors of the Student Council. He is a busy teacher for TCHS and is always willing to help the students. He is a star in more than one way. Daniel is Mother Hen “Mother Hen” is what the 1982 Seniors call her, but she is also known as Chairman of the English Dept., co-sponsor of the National Honor Society, and Coach for the school’s Brain Brawl Team. She has devoted much of her time to this and other activities at TCHS. Constantly she is working to help the Brain Brawl Team become one of the best in Florida. Her ef- forts have won recognition for our school, because our team has constantly been recognized as one of the winners. Mrs. Daniel, a favorite of the 1982 Seniors, has said of them, “The class of ’82 is incomparable.” If anyone should know, she should, for she has taught many of them for three and four years. 26
