Talcin' Care of Business On these pages are the pictures of some people who, all through the year, do a great deal of work for WHS and for the students. First, we have Virgil Coughlin, superintendent of Scott County District 1. He has many decisions to make, like if it snows should school go on? Then there's Rex Eddy, principal of WHS. I'm sure you've seen him at one time or another in the halls, keeping a watchful eye on all the students. Of course, we have a Board of Education. This picture shows Mr. Coughlin standing at left, with Gary Hurrelbrink on his left; then clockwise they are Dee Bell, Jacqueline Hanback, Bob Brown, Katherine Taylor (board secretary), Jane Hatcher, Don Pence, and Elmer Suttles. This year we had a change in the high school office. Mrs. Greer, wife of Mr. Max Greer, became our new secretary. Mrs. Summers retired, with a little farewell party from the WHS faculty and friends. 4

Speaking of secretaries, the ones at the superintendent's office are Evelyn Haggard, Geraldine McGuire, and Tammy Woosley. It takes three to keep track of all the paper work for the district. Just think what would happen if we didn’t have bus drivers like Ivan Me Dade, Amos Greenwood, Betsy Krueger, David Deal, Sharon McLaughlin, Henry Krueger, Bonnie Summers, David Daniels, Geraldine McGuire, Clarence Sheppard and Art Capps. (Mr. Capps is also bus mechanic, and in charge of buses). If they weren't around to bring us to school and take us home safely, we wouldn't be able to make it to our nice school, which is kept neat and tidy by WHS custodians Everett Tankersley and Amos Greenwood. Around lunch time I'm sure a lot of people get hungry. If it wasn't for Jessie Campbell, Mildred Scott, Helen Tankersley, and Virginia Blackburn, our cooks, there just wouldn't be any of that good food down at the cafeteria. All these people — plus the teachers — are needed just to get us educated. And don't forget one important group that we couldn't picture — the taxpayers, which include your own parents. It's all right, though — we're worth it. Reginia Booth
