MR. MACK D. JONES as principal of a school made up of juniors and seniors is faced with a complex and taxing job. Being principal of Waiter- boro High means long hours of meet- ings: faculty meetings, principal meetings, human relations committee meetings ... It means football, bas- ketball, and baseball games and caf- eteria meals. For Mr. Jones, it means long conversations with unhappy parents, teachers, and students. It includes writing letters to the Press and Standard, writing reports for the Board of Education, the Southern As- sociation, and the State Department of Education. It means headaches, coffee breaks and long hours of planning for the future. There are fringe benefits for Mr. Jones like attending a principals con- ference at Hilton Head. Signs of concern grow in Mr. Jones face as he answers one of the many phone calls he recieves each day. 12 Administration

MR. FRANKLIN SMALLS finds the job of assistant principal serious business. Because he coaches varsity basketball many students refer to him as ‘'Coach Smalls”, and although he is involved in many areas of administration, students most frequently think of him as the man who gives out rewards for misbehavior. This year Mr. Smalls added a staff of student aides. Their job is to find and bring students to his office in a steady flow. This cuts down on the use of the PA system, which so often disturbed classes in past years, and on long lines of students standing in the hall waiting to see him. MRS. PAT RHODE is at the center of the activity at Walterboro High. This year she stepped up to the head post in the front office when Mrs. Collins left to work in Mr. Cone’s office. Mrs. Rhode performs many of the important jobs that keep the school operating smoothly. One of these jobs is writing checks to pay all the bills, as we see her doing in the picture above. MRS. MYRTLE SOCHA moved from the guidance of- fice to the main office this year, taking on the duties of helping Mrs. Rhode, teachers and students get through another day. Much of her time is taken up counting all the money desposited by clubs, teachers, the athletic department, and, in particular, the annual staff. Administration 13
