Inspiration Begins At The Top Students didn ' t realize the duties of our adminis- tration at U.C.H.S. The administration was the backbone of the school, the key that made this school run smoothly. Heading this department was Principal Catherine Hopper, Mrs. Hopper not only fit and exercised the definition of a Principal, but she also surpassed it! Working the long and in- volved hours, for the benefit of a student body and school in which she believed in, had been a tedious but rewarding job. Her two energetic Vice-Princi- pals Mr. Joseph Tafoya and Ms. Mary Castleberry aided as well as advised her on many community and school activities. Working together they built a structure of unity between teacher and student that was to be a never-ending trust.

Aiming Students Toward Success Most students perceived the idea that Counselors were there for one reason only; to change or drop classes off a students schedule. This was a fallacy. Head Counselor Boyd Gilliland and colleagues Dr. Keating, Ms. Brookes, and Ms. Steinhart com- bined; advised the bulk of the student body at U.C.H.S. Their duties also covered such areas as; class adviser, assisting in student happenings. Col- lege Prep. Aide, news informers and other areas of which they were not always accredited for. The Counselors were there to advise you, as well as to be your friend. The success of the counseling de- partment was due to the true spirit of dedication and commitment that was unique among our coun- seling staff. ) Dr Boyd Ciilliland, Head Counselor.
