Principal Buckley Encourages Students For his ceaseless efforts to better the standards of the school and its policies, the students of YHS are indebted to Mr. Cruitt R. Buckley. Mr. Buckley received his BSin 1950 and his MA in 1956 from the University of South- ern Mississippi. His years of experience as principal of Yazoo Junior High enabled him to guide the faculty and student body in a wise manner. As principal, Mr. Buckley served as a source of infor- mation, inspiration, and understanding. He coordinated the activities of students and teachers and maintained an atmosphere conducive to study. By cooperating with the Student Council, he provided both entertaining and in- formative school programs such as the annual Southern School Assembly Programs. Mr. Buckley not only performed these duties with the firmness that was necessary, but also with the fairness that earned for him the respect of both teachers and stu- dents.
