Mr. ardall leaves to complete doctorate No single person is as responsible for the improvement of West Muskingum High School as Mr. Earl E. Bardall, its principal for three years - from 1967-1970. His arrival ushered in a new era marked by a constant striving for excellence in all phases of education. His phenomenal success was primarily due to three charac- teristics of his approach. Mr. Bardall first created an atmosphere conducive to learning and his fair-but-firm philosophy quickly gained him widespread recognition. Second was his superb knowl- edge of secondary school curriculum because, through his leader- ship, West's course offerings increased in number from 37-58 units. Third was his ability to work with his faculty to ensure maximum development within such varied areas as music, publications, speech and drama, athletics, and counseling. Mr. Bardall received his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Akron and has done graduate work at Ohio State University and Ohio University.

Not only do the counselors help students select classes, but they also help him set goals. So that each student will receive the in- dividual attention he requires, West Musking- um's counseling department was enlarged as Mr. Jim Zechiel joined the staff. Mr. Zechiel assists Mrs. Margaret Lunghofer in helping students chart their course work and careers. Part of the counselors' job is the maintaing of brochures on occupations, professions, and necessary training and backgrounds. II7
