Seniors See Principe in Meny Poles When the present seniors entered Valdosta High School three years ago, Mr. Howard Bridges im- pressed them as a stern figure striding the halls and seeking an opportunity to give some sophomore an hour in study hall. By their junior year, they realized that the prin- cipal was more than a disciplinarian. They learned that he had been a teacher, and they recognized him as a good administrator. When Mr. Bridges spoke to them about personal problems, they were amazed at his powers of observation. Some of the bolder juniors even referred to him—privately, of course—as “Slick.” During their senior year this same class became increasingly aware that Mr. Bridges was a versatile person filling many roles: administrator, observer, proud grandfather, fisherman, and hunter. No longer awed in his presence, they considered him as a friend, one who faithfully supported their teams and clubs, cautioned them for fall- ing down in their grades, reminded them to take College Board Exams, send in transcripts, and order graduation invitations. Because he has been an everpresent influence on their lives for three years, the seniors of 1968 chose to dedicate their annual to Mr. William Howard Bridges. ft l-i
