■ ■ ■ The ' who set MR. JOHN W. KICKHAM Principal He is swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. Look for him chatting with students in the main hall, working in his inner sanctum, on his way to a meeting or writing notices. DR. CECIL RICE Superintendent Laugh and the world laughs with you. Dr. Rice advocates this while visiting the classrooms and cafeteria, cracking jokes in assembly, and while contemplating in his office. His big job of carrying out a complete educa- tional program is seeing that there are enough school rooms, buildings, seats, textbooks, supplies and personnel. In addition, Dr. Rice organizes and operates the budget and acts as the executive officer of the Board of Education. Planning for the future and studying educational trends are also a must. Mr. Kickham makes sure that a workable schedule is set up, that a variety of courses are offered, that teachers meet requirements and make use of available equipment. He, also, does a million and one things that will help make a happy school and turn out good citizens. MR. RAY N. SOUTHARD Ass't Principal He that can have patience can have what he will. Mr. Southard can be found at the receiving end of the attendance line, sending Miss Nelson on her way, checking on the detention room patrons, or, if all else fails, riding in his bright yellow hard-top convertible. Behind the scenes Mr. Southard has charge of the attendance and registrar records, in addition to the students permanent transcripts. He, also, heads the visual education department in the high school. 6 02642874
