Administration makes many important changes Decisions are noticeable Changes were a big part of the school year. The lunch hours were combined into one hour for the whole school. Three new tables were put into the concession stand area for the excess number of students. This seemed to work well, ac- cording to most. Others weren’t too pleased at the “fun” the kids had in their new environment. Mr. Dave Zlab, principal, “listened to the blues” when he had difficulty in acquiring information about the alleged food fight. The hall passes were most strictly enforced, while the previous paddles were put to a rest. Mr. Zlab felt that they weren’t adequate enough be- cause they let the kids run around too much. “With the hall passes it is better so that we know where the kids are going and when they left the room,” commented Mr. Zlab. This year was a bit different and difficult for Gail Clary, secretary. She had much more work to accomplish and handle. She was in charge of the activities book, all the or- ganizations’ business, and or- ders. Gail Clary, secretary of 11 years, said, “I like my job but no two days are alike.” District superintendent, Mr. Stephen Joel, new to this area from Chase, Kansas, worked hard to help improve the school system. He com- mented, “My family and I love it here. Troy is a great town to live in with a super school. We just love to be a part of it all.” He was orig- inally from New York. As a first-time superintendent to the district, Mr. Joel spent time getting acquainted with other staffers, such as Mr. Zlab and Gail Clary. Mr. Joel wasted no time in meeting new people and getting familiar with the area around Troy. As Mr. Joel’s secretary, BrendaTurpin helped file papers, answer phones, and schedule meetings. This was her first year with the district. Photography by Bray’s, Gary Huff, and Stephanie Smith
