Meet the PrincipalBy Debbie Gallion

, Amid the hustle and bustleof phone calls, tardy students,and lockers that won't open,it's not always easy to findMarsMield's new high schoolprincipal, Mr. George T, Bal-lard.

Mr. Ballard, who is begin-ning his ninth year here atM.H.S., was one of our coiches

,:-for five years and our counse-lor for the past three. He statedthat he enjoyed counseling verymuch, and he is certain that hewill be just as happy in hisnew position as our principal.

However, there is a big dif-ference in the two jobs. AsMr. Ballard puts it, "I findit's quite different frori:' corin'seling in the way you dealwith the students' problems."

"The teachers have helped

me considerably," stated Mr.Ballard. He then went on toexplain that those teachers whoare in charge of certain out-side activities and activitieswithin the school have beenmost helpful in reminding himof his duties connected withtheir activities.

As far as drastic changesin the school rules or policiesare concerned, Mr. Ballardplans none. However - and letthis be a warning, students -he commented that there aretoo many people tardy duringthe day because of trips totheir lockers, and if this doesn'tstop, there ',might" have to beset times when students canvisit their lockers.

So relax, everybody. Thekansition promises to be asmooth one.

New Teachers )ers on the staff, here is a listof them along with their teach-ing positions.

Bravo, Gals! our cheerleaders and pepsquadwas the best I have eyer seen -or should I sayheard. Through-out the game our gals kept upa steady stream of encourage-ment which not only showedthat we were proud of ourteam, but also spurred ourplayers on.

Excitement and enthusiasmwere at a high pitch even ont}te pep club bus before thegame. By the time we arrivedat Bolivar, the girlswerereadyfor anything. As soon as thegame started, it was evidentthat our team was ready, too.

Throughout the excitinggame, the cheering section andthe team seemed to give eachother energy and drive. Weshouted encouragement to theboys, and they dug in. At theresults of their efforts, wecheered even more.

Students at our footballgames have often been chidedabout their lack of school spirit.But never have I seen suchsupport for our football team.
