ALHTLELEQQON Like stationary and sta- tionery, compliment, and complement, all together and altogether, the words principal and principle are often confused. If you have difficulty distinguishing be- tween these two words, a brief examination of the fol- lowing sentences should make them clear, Dr. Carl Ahee, our princi- pal, demonstrates the princi- ples of leadership One of our assistant princi- pals, Mr. Marcus Caldwell, endorses the principles of scholarship. Another assistant princi- pal, Miss Bea Rous, helps instill in the students the principles of self-discipline and self-respect, Mr. Harold Klonecky, our new assistant principal, ex- hibits the principle of good management of the facilities of a growing school. The principles of increas- ing educational opportun- ities for students and of stu- dents' fully realizing their capabilities are important to all of our principals. Now that you understand these words, tell me which you should use in this sen- tence? What is a teenagefsi .Tfood? f 'w PRINCIPLE Dr. Carl Ahee Principal B.A., U.S.C. M.S., U.5.C. M.Ed., U.S.C.
