board job demanding Dery KAVMaKee nF MR. CHARLES BRISCOE MR. HAROLD EIFERT Assistant Superintendent Assistant Superintendent MR. DONALD RODERICK Superintendent of Schools MR. RICHARD BARTALINI MRS. LEE CAVANAUGH The Board of Education had a demanding job this year in dealing with school fi- nances. It is responsible for a six million dollar budget and for maintaining 15 million dollars' worth of school buildings and grounds. This year one-half million was spent on the remodeling of our own science wing. Construction also began on the Chipman School, the Will C. Wood School, and a new wing on the Donald D. Lum School, and the Board had Bay Farm Island surveyed for several elementary schools and a third high school. Thirty more teachers were hired to meet expanding enrollment and 439,000 dollars was requested in federal grants to finance programs in reading, expanded guidance services, work experience, and pre-school education. The Board of Education is also responsible for over 600 employees, |4 elementary schools and two high schools totaling |1,400 students, a Child Care Center, and a comprehensive adult school program. The Board of Education began five new phases in their work: to open a continua- tion school for students who dropped out of high school; to begin the procedures to implement the new teacher's suspension law; to engage in a Neighborhood Youth Corps program; to adopt policies governing Board-employee relations; and to con- duct a Head Start Program under the Federal Anti-Poverty Act for pre-schoolers.

administrators time are many Mr. Barry Conner, dean of students, has a last minute thought before he leaves for the day. Hoeksema, vice-principal, abandons her thoughts to see whoever it is she can help. Mrs. Helen Hoeksema, vice principal, has a number of jobs. She directs the Girls' Association, American Field Serv- ice, Board of Control, the program for new teachers and substitutes, the fed- eral survey, and AHS public relations. Dr. James Snell, vice principal, is equally busy. He works out the schedul- ing of classes, develops the curriculum, supervises teachers and their problems, determines class sizes and teacher load, assists in planning special programs such as those financed by the National Defense Education Act, and aids in stu- dent activities such as sports and aca- demic life. Mr. Barry Conner, dean of students, is always busy with the school's masses. He is in charge of disciplining 2,500 stu- dents, advising student body officers, Ad Board representatives, and the As- sembly Planning Committee. Dr. James Snell, vice-principal, intently views a crucial play at the San Leandro game.
