Lyle Whitener, Jr

CLOVER - One of Lyles Whitener Jr.'s duties when he was assistant principal at Clover Junior High School was to enforce the school's discipline policy.

He could take a student in his office in the morning and chew him out, but by noon they would be buddies again, his friends and co-workers said when they learned of his death earlier this week.

"He was loved by those kids, " Ron Wright, the district's director of personnel said. "What a role model he was for those kids."

Whitener died Thursday, May 28, 1998, at his home, 1190 Tom Joye Road.

Pratt also stressed how helpful Whitener was to him when they worked together.

"He had been an assistant principal, and I was a new principal. He was very helpful to me. He taught me a lot, " Pratt said. "He was a touch of class."

He took great pride in everything he did, Pratt said. As one of his duties, he was in charge of concessions at the ball games and was famous for his popcorn. Even after he retired, he came back to make his popcorn for the games, Wright said.
