ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS Mr. Quentin L. Scott, Principal BS — Florida State, MAT and EDS — The Citadel I am firmly convinced that accountability is the one word most descriptive of this period in education. Also, there is a widespread move to improve educational quality. In reviewing our accomplishments over the last 4 years, we have concrete evidence that our students are achieving at a higher rate and excellence is a realistic goal. The Mt. Pleasant community is more aware than ever before of the many activities here and the quality of our academic program We appreciate the contribution of each member of the staff, faculty, and student body in making Wando High School the best Mr Quentin Scott. Principal It is increasingly apparent that Wando students improve scholastically each year. This year is no exception. I have also been impressed with the confidence and dedication exuded by the majority in their day to day pursuit of cur- ricular and extracurricular activities. As we continue to grow and learn we will make Wando an even greater school. Mr Carroll Davis. Assistant Principal W — Willingness to meet obstacles and find the best solutions. A — Ability to think, achieve, and cooperate. N — Navigate the course well and successfully travel through the 1983-84 school year. D — Dedicated to the best education possible. O — Optimistically look at our present and future. To the students — ’ If you obtain an education and never put it to use. it is of no value to you and you have wasted your time Reading maketh a full man. conference a ready man. and writing an exact man.

MA — College of Chas. Mrs. Eileen Vaughan. Assistant Principal Mr. Andrew Stamp, Comm. School Di- BA — Marrymount, MA — Duke, MEd — rector USC BA — Bowdoin, MEd — Univ. of Vir- ginia I will have to give you only the impressions of the last three months since I don’t have other years at Wando with which to compare this one. I have been very impressed with the quality of the facilities, the friendliness, courtesy and ability of the students and the expertise of a hard-working and caring administration and faculty. From my observation of first semester grades and conversations with students though. I know that we are not anywhere near reaching our potential Wando has all the ingredients of a really outstanding high school which would be recognized any- where and competitive with the best private and public schools in this country. What I see lacking on the part of many students is a real seriousness of purpose and the drive and dedication to do the very best. I spend so much of my time dealing with students who are smoking in the restrooms, tardy to classes or talking or playing in classes that I often wonder what school and education is really all about. I guess the conclusion of my observations is a challenge to all students to take advantage of the marvelous opportunity you have here at Wando to get the best education under the best staff, to stretch yourselves to the limit and make of yourselves and Wando the best they can be E.
