1 s As Vice Principal, Mr. Leonardi misses the close relationship with the students that is part of classroom teaching. However, he feels that the opportunity to meet and help all students compensates for this. Seeing the students prog- ress through the different phases of high school life provides enjoyment and pride for him. He feels that a more responsible attitude on the part of the students could result in fewer restrictions on their activities. Mr. Leonardi thinks that as a senior class we are unified and posses the quali- ties of good leadership. He reminds us to “re- member what parents and teachers tried to teach, be good and kind to other people, and use good common sense.” THE VICE-PRINCIPALS The opportunity to aid students in helping themselves is of primary importance to Mr. Maz . While teaching, he felt the need to do more for his students; consequently he stud- ied for his 6th year degree in Secondary School administration at Fairfield Universi- ty, his alma mater. He is presently continuing his education at the University of Connecti- cut and Southern Connecticut State College. A relatively new Vice Principal, Mr. Maz is content with his job but sees a need for great- er vocational education and career-oriented subjects to better prepare students for life. Of the senior class Mr. Maz says that we show “common sense and good judgment. He feels that we have set a good example for the younger students and respects us as ma- ture people. He sincerely wishes hope for the future and the best for the members of the senior class. 9
