Administration Faces Controversial Issues The School Board took steps to begin s a program to remedy the situation. The E Board met with college students who had 3 graduated from Clay County High Schools in order to gain insight on the 5 E curriculum and what college students t E felt our schools were lacking. Another move by the Board consisted of a tour of each high school to discover first hand the needs and problems of each school. It was clear that last year attempts to better the school situation in this county were taken by the Board- under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. A.M. Bennett. I ln early September 1971, the doors of Brazil High School opened for the 55th time. In the space of a few minutes, the halls were filled with over 550 students ready to begin a new year. It took approximately the same length of time for both the student body and faculty to realize the changes that had been made. A once drab and dreary cafeteria had blossomed into something that was considered attractive and cheerful. There were also things that had not changed: overcrowding in the classrooms and an outdated building. lust as the students and faculty became increasingly interested, so did citizens of the county.

Everyone knew that problems existed, but a means of solving these problems was hard to find. 6 Q . ,E r',......,-f 3 S 2 E l t
