Mr. Perkins Works For Activity Co-Ordination As Dr. Corley Assists With Academics Mr. Perkins Have you ever wondered what’s harder to find than the proverbial needle in the haystack? Mr. Perkins would have no trouble in answering that description. As the Assistant Principal in charge of student activities (and parking permits), Mr. Perkins has the honor of keeping our activities in the proper perspective. With the activities at York consuming as much of student life as it does, the loss of Perky” would lead to chaos on the schedule of events and the sounds of silence on the morning intercom. Our thanks. Leaving at the end of pentamester one to become Assistant Superintendent of the Harrisonburg Public Schools, Dr. Corley was deeply admired and appreciated by all. He was in charge of academics and scheduling here at York. Fourteen hundred schedules four times a year needed a guiding hand and found one in Dr. Corley. His presence will be missed by the students and the faculty at York. Dr. Corley addresses pep rally. 20

! ■ Assistan t Prin ci pals Fa cili ta te ■ School Programs Mr. Beachum Student instruction and guidance is probably one of the most difficult jobs in school. Add the disadvantage of taking over the job in the middle of November and you have Mr. Beachum. Balancing student loads, co-ordinating schedules, and insuring the fluidity of academic projects has given our new administrator a huge basket case of problems that occasionally seem to be solved by a magic educational wand. Our thanks to Mr. Beachum as part of a very dedicated staff who work long untold hours to find a satisfactory resolve for the student in need of a path to travel. Discipline, that hated word, is the realm of Mr. Page. Known as the staff member who keeps his cool, Mr. Page is the man designated to keep the noses straight and the students’ paths true. This job demands a close relationship with the students and an ability to understand the problems that sometimes cause problems in the everyday life we know as school. Athletics is another area covered by Mr. Page. He helps keep the various programs lined up from the logistics standpoint. It’s easy to hop in your car and go to the game. The game runs smoothly because someone has organized the tickets, the patrols, and a bunch of other jobs that make everything seem so smooth. 19
