Dr. Miller Accepts Duties As First Principal of W.H.S. We wish to recognize Dr. N. A. Miller for his unfaltering leadership throughout this school year. As our principal, he set forth the regulations which served as guidelines for establising the dignity of our school. His wisdom and understanding have played an important role in the suc- cess of our attempt to attain unity. A soft voice, a quiet walk, a gentle yet firm dispensing of justice, an unob- trusive air of competence — these qualities and more portray the image of the Principal of Watauga High School. Dr. Miller takes time out for a short informal conference session with Mr. Ross and student. He is always eager to be of help when possible. Wanda Farthing takes notes from Dr. Miller on awards to be pre- sented for Awards Day. WWII N. A. Miller, D.Ed., Univ. of Tennessee Just another face in the crowd!

County Board of Education Sees Result of Planning and Work As Watauga High School Enjoys Successful First Year To these thoughtful men, among others, the students of W.H.S. owe a note of appreciation. Without their fore- sight, as well as that of many other people, our beauti- ful, spacious school would probably never have material- ized. As representatives of the citizenry of Watauga County, these leaders continue to provide for the wel- fare of the various schools of this county. H. W. Mast; Mack Brown; Dr. Charles Davant, Jr., Chairman; W. Guy Angell, Secretary and Superintendent. 18

Assistant Principal Well Qualified His past experience as principal and teacher makes Carl Fidler well qualified for the position of Assistant Principal. Because of his foresight, many problems connected with the smooth be- ginning of a newly consolidated high school have been avoided. Although Mr. Fidler’s most ob- vious duty is to assist Dr. Miller in the administrative affairs of Watauga High School, he has done more than merely that re- quired by his position. He has been in charge of the transporta- tion facilities for the school, seeing daily that students arrive and depart safely from the building. This is only one of many duties which Mr. Fidler has performed most capably. Carl Fidler, M.A., A.S.T.C. Mr. Fidler discusses day’s schedule with Dr. Miller while awaiting last bus’s arrival. Guidance Counselors Assist in Student Registration Margaret E. Gragg, M.A., A.S.T.C. Mrs. Gragg, the junior-senior counselor, and Mrs. Mast, the freshman-sophomore counselor, began work before Watauga High School opened its doors for the first time, pre-registering all students so that the first days of the 1965-66 school year would be less hectic. During the year, they helped many students find answers to per- sonal problems and decide ori vocations. Grace B. Mast, M.A., A.S.T.C.
