To the Students . . Dear Students, A Mosaic is composed of diverse elements com- bined in such a way as to create an artistic master- piece. The design varies according to the purpose for which the mosaic is to be used. The style is deter- mined by the artisan who turns the design into a reality. Color is used to provide contrast which is further accentuated by texture. These elements are all necessary in the creation of a beautiful mosaic, but each is of relatively little importance when com- pared with the material of which it is made. The de- sign may be beautiful, the style faultless, the color and texture pleasing, but if the material is of in- ferior quality the mosaic cannot be justified. In the school mosaic the material is made up of individual students, each with the responsibility of so preparing himself that he will stand out as an important entity, but at the same time comple- ment and strengthen the positions filled by others. How well are you preparing yourself to fill your position in the school mosaic ? Very sincerely, My M77 Mr. Gregory and Dr. Philip Arsenault, supervisor of foreign languages, explain the advanced equipment to Mr. Jesse Stark, principal of the Calvert County High School, and Mr. Douglas Bivens, Jr., Director of Instruction, Calvert County. .1 .1 tb . - , Mr. Henry C. Gregory, principal, graduated from West Virginia University, continued there to get his law' de- gree, and then enrolled at the University of Michigan where he received his Masters. The wisdom and under- standing of Mr. Gregory, gained in 35 years as an edu- cator, are behind the high esprit de corps of his staff. Mr. Gregory laughs as Mr. Reddick recounts a light aspect of his duties as assistant principal for instruction. Administration 9

Positions in fticc hakc-up There was a New Look in the offices this year, as the assistant principals changed guises and Mr. Allen Swick donned one just out, that of admin- istrative assistant. For some juniors and seniors, Mr. William Ben- nett's look was neither new nor approving, as he handled eleventh and twelfth grade discipline. He also supervised attendance, assigned teachers to ex- tra-curricular duties, and made announcements re- lating to physical contact off the football field. Mr. Donald Reddick kept the tenth grade in check and, in keeping with the County-wide emphasis on curriculum quality, supervised the instructional pro- gram. Mr. Arthur Spaulding's current bailiwick includes the class councils, SCA, clubs, assemblies, and Guid- ance. Mr. Swick concentrated on pupil transportation, building and ground maintenance, custodial staff management, and Civil Defense and fire drills. In addition to scheduling and advising, the coun- selors concentrated on informing every student of all the services the Guidance Department offers him by publishing bulletins and speaking to classes. Thanks largely to the efforts of the counselors, more students than ever were college-bound. Guidance al- so worked on follow-ups of graduates to find out how successful their counseling had been. None of the lines decreed by Paris this year could have been as busy as the telephone lines in the main office. Coping with the average 500 daily calls, man- aging the budget, typing all school communications, and doing the myriad of things that don't fit under any specific topic is the job of the secretaries with the Weary-but-Cheery look. Assistant Principal William Bennett rounds up a sufficient number of substitutes to replace the teachers going on a Music Department field trip the next day. Administration ll
