Coordinator, Chairman of the Language Department, on the now defunct Hop Committee, and on the Faculty Advisory
Committee.
Both men are adjusting to
their respective positions with care and diligence. Mr. Meador finds his new job a great change from his previous duties, but, he says, while it is slightly more hectic, it is just as rewarding. He has proven to be well-organized and conscientious and, because he has to lock the gym in the afternoon and attend to other duties of office, he has been late for more than a few evening
meals.
Mr. Garmey has had the
benefit of Mr. Meador's advice in making his transition flow more smoothly. He declares that there will be "no radical change from previous policies" and says that his policy will be "fair, but firm . .. with an emphasis on firm."
