Humphrey
(Continued from Page 1A)
third through fourth grade teachers
worked with special software that
took the results of the prior year's test
and highlighted problem areas for
each student. Armed with this knowl-
edge, the teachers were better able to
meet the needs of their students.
Meeting the needs of the students
is what being a principal is, accord-
ing to Humphrey. "The kids are what
it's all about," she says. Early on in
her life she decided education was
where she wanted to be. "It was ei-
ther business or education. I figured
out pretty early on that there aren't
many kids in business, so education
it was." Educating herself as well.
After achieving her Bachelors de-
gree in Education at East Texas Uni-
versity, she went on to get two Mas-
ters degrees in Education and Admin-
istration Supervision at North Texas
University. She even has a few hours
accumulated towards a Doctorate.
If she had her way she'd spend all
day with the kids, however as an ad-
ministrator, much of her time is taken
up with paperwork. It's her least fa-
vorite part of the job, but a necessary
evil. And without the help of an as-
sistant principal, she's a one person
administrative machine. She told of
a principal friend at a much larger
school who does have an assistant.
"She only has 19 teacher evaluations
to do. I have 39," said Humphrey. The
upside, she says, is that she knows
everything that goes on in the school.
Next year may be a different story,
however. In order to qualify for an
assistant principal, the school popu-
lation must be over 600 students.
Currently Ethridge has 538, but with
the continued development of
Stewarts Peninsula, that population is
expected to grow drastically over the
next couple of years. As of this year,
the school had to add a half time kin-
dergarten teacher and the fourth grade
classes are just barely under the le-
gal class limit of 22 students. She
fully expects to add more classes be-
fore next year.
To Humphrey, her biggest chal-
lenge as a principal is getting all the
parts working together. Her goal is
to have parents, teachers and the ad-
ministration all working together to
improve the education of the kids.
Crash

in mid-flight," said Trevino. "But this
time, we didn't hear it restart, and I
knew right then, something was
wrong. Immediately after we heard
the boom, we knew he had crashed "
Castillo said, "We all ran over to
the crash site, to see if maybe we
could help or something". But when
Castillo arrived at the burning air-
craft, there wasn't much he could do.
Everything was engulfed in flames,
and he could not get close.
"We could see the pilot in
amongst the burning debris, along
with what appeared to be the engine.
But you could tell that he was dead.
There was nothing that we could have
done at that point."
Mike and Angie Trevino have
lived here about 18 years. Their
house is on the lake at Lone Star
Ranch. "In all the years that we have
lived here, I have never seen anything
like this."
The gyrocopter was completely
destroyed in the crash. The FA A and
National Transportation Safety Board
are still investigating the incident.

would be a buffer if she could be any
powertool. "Laura" said she would be
the flavor of Rainbow Sherbert if she
got to choose and "Kimberly"
claimed she looked like Donna Mills.
Who would you choose? Lehamn
played it safe and picked the Donna
Mills look alike, Kimberly, a 38 year
old mother of one. Keith and Kim-
berly got a ride from 5 Star Limou-
sine to Big Fish, Little Fish in Dal-
las. Lehman said he and Kimberly
had a great time and may even see
each other again.
Lehman has lived in The Colony
for 15 years and still cares for his ail-
ing parents who live here as well. Ac-
cording to Lehman, we may not have
seen the last of him yet! He hopes to
be a part of the final episode of Home
Improvement, which we hear might
come this year. Lehman also hopes
to become a sidekick of a sitcom
sometime in the future. Maybe if A1
gets his own show! His move to Hol-
lywood is currently on hold, however,
until his parents are well. What a great
guy thatCal!
