STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD WHAT IS A PRINCIPAL? • an ogre, perhaps, if you are a small boy, and naughty... -a trusted counselor, if you are a troubled parent... -a wise leader, if you are a teacher in his building... -a Jack-of-All-Trades (errand boy to Big Boss) if you are the principal... A school principal wears many hats, and in the course of a day he or she performs many different functions which are vital to the smooth and ef­ fective operation of his school building. Few people are fully aware of the range of his responsibilities. In one capacity the principal is the MANAGER OF HIS BUILDING, in charge of the routines of its running. He makes (and re-makes) schedules. He orders books nd supplies, and he fills out reports. He checks on main­ tenance, on the playground, on the lunchroom, on traffic in the halls. Many of the details of the operation can be delegated to others, but in the last analysis it is the principal who is finally accountable. So he checks, and things run smoothly - most of the time. •PUBLIC RELATIONS EXPERT NO. 1" is another honorary title that might be bestowed on a school principal. For a school is primarily people: Children who want to be treated like human beings', parents who like to feel welcome and wanted; and teachers and other staff members, who had better feel welcome and wanted '*#• the school is going to operate happily. Setting the tone for this symphony of harmony or discord of human relationships is no small task for our prin­ cipal. Grating children by name in the halls, conferring with parents or working with them in the parents' organization, constantly fin­ ding opportunities to interpret the school program to the public, sharing coffee and conversation with the staff - these are but a few of the means by which a principal helps to create that elusive climate called "morale" or "school spirit". If he is suc­ cessful, things run smoothly - most of the time. These two functions - management and public i BIG BIKE BONUS! I Save like never before • . .

In McHenry, however, they are just the beginning. The smooth- running machinery is not an end in itself, but only the means to attain the main purpose for which schools exist: the education of children. Con­ sequently, we define the role of the principal primarily as that of the educational leader in his building. As the educational leader, he plays an active part in curriculum development. Through study and experience, he has become knowledgeable in the many facets of elementary school curriculum. With his staff, he carries on discussions and initiates im­ provements in current prac­ tices. With the other principals in the school system, he shares ideas so that coordination of the program may be achieved. As the educational leader, the principal bears the chief responsibility for the super­ vision of instruction in his building. He visits classrooms' and observes teaching in progress. He confers with teachers in order to commend them for a job well done as well as to offer constructive suggestions for improvement. He is the guide, counsellor, and friend of each teacher, helping her to attain the best per­ formance he or she is capable of. The ultimate goal of his ef­ forts, however, is always an even better educational service to the boys gnd girls in his school. The principal, then, is a professional person whose leadership touches-the lives of many people fit many levels. Some of his tasks are merely necessary routines; some are more interesting and challenging, especially those which involve human relationships ; the others, which relate directly to the educational process, are in­ finitely complex and never- ending, but these are the ones which give the principal's job his greatest meaning and satisfaction. The principal as an educator is truly the proper definition of his role. Brother And Sister Swim In Competition Laura and John Clewis swam in the Satellite Swimming championships March 6 and 7.
