NEW PEOPLE BRING NEW HOPE Although our school had a lot of new people last year, it still ran very smooth- ly- Robert Meyers, our new principal, ac- complished his goals and tried very hard to make this school better academically. Keith Wortinger did a lot too. Most peo- ple don’t realize just how much a vice principal does. He helps set up the calen- dar, calls in substitutes when needed, sets up the lunch schedule, and many other things. Linda Gothan is the high school treasurer and bookkeeper. Kay Kindig is the high school secretary. There is also another important per- son in our school, Baxter Paige. He is our Superintendent. His job is to prepare and manage the budget, carry out the policy the school board has made, plus supervising, and a lot of other things. Also in the Superintendent’s office were two important ladies. Eleanor Hoover, who runs the computer and does the bookkeeping for the school corporation, and also Judy Hively, who is the secre- tary and treasurer for the corporation. Last, but not least, is the school board. They are the ones that make the rules and policies for our school. Their job is very important, for without them our school could not function. For all the time, hard work, and pa- tience our administration has done, they’ve done a great job. 28 Administration Jane Kruger

After grow- ing up together, the students got along together in classes and in sports. When the two schools combined into one, this was a drastic change for the incoming freshmen. They not only had to get along with fellow classmates but they also had to meet the different people from the other school. They showed that after awhile they could become friends and work together in classes. Participating in sports and clubs, stu- dents became closer and friendships were made between the Seniors and un- derclassmen. So, in those four short years at high school, the Seniors found it hard for them to leave. But their year was a hectic one filled with senior pic- tures, cards, and graduation, so there wasn’t much time for them to be sad. The Juniors had one more year to go and they recalled the fun times they had par- ticipating in concessions, prom, and magazine sales. For the Sophomores, they left behind receiving their class rings and getting their drivers license. Taking a big jump were the Freshmen who weren’t picked on any longer for being new to the school. So on looking back, the students cher- ished the shared moments with friends, and recalled the happy times, and showed that they can look good together. Shelly Stokes Student Life 27
