and Administrators A President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Treasurer ... so far it sounds like the members of Andover ' s class office, doesn ' t it? But this team also has three hard-working Trustees, a Deputy Superintendent, and a Superintendent. Yes, we ' re talking about the Board of Education. Most Andover students have never met this board, even though it does not go unnoticed. It is usually listed in Andover Music and Sports programs, the Andover Action, and most other publications of Bloomfield Hills Schools. What exactly do the people across the street from us do? ' Well, they negotiate improvements to benefit the schools such as the addition of cable television this year), listen to the parents ' praise and complaints, and implement dynamic curriculum changes. All Bloomfield Hill Schools can depend upon their Board of Education for superb educational service. Their main focus is, however, establishing school policies. These policies allow our school system to become more effective in its main goal: educating. The Board of Education, along with the District Administration, provides the foundation for our school. Andover ' s Administrators, another group of dedicated people, spend most of their time making sure that the school and functions connected with it, runs smoothly. They solve problems and provide guidance for the school. Their wish to make Andover the best it can be motivates them to develop new ideas such as in-school suspension. Without them Andover would be reduced to chaos. We should all express our warm thanks and gratitude to the Board and Administration for their concern and dedication toward our education. It ' s the greatest time of your lives, Seniors, and I hope that our teaching you in grades 9-12 will have prepared you for a life as well as making each of you a better per- son. Mr. John Toma Principal As our first Freshmen class to spend four years at Andover, I hope your memories are full of won- derful times with friends, class and activities. Mrs. Janette Gwinn Vice -Principal It has really been a plea- sure working with stu- dents who are sincerely interested in their educa- tion, and still take the time to be involved in nu- merous athletic and co- curricular activities. Dr. David Symington Vice -Principal Faculty

Counselors and Secretaries - ' We asked the counselors, some of our fa vorite people, to express their feelings on Andover students and to tell us a little bit about themselves. Their responses vary from sincere wishes for their stu- dents future success to reflections on their past years in education. Mr. Ceremuga: Every class has its own person- ality. It is as if all 348 seniors are melted into one person. This year ' s class I would characterize as a positive, ambitious and pleasant person. This senior class is a plea - sure to be around. I will be sorry to see them leave. Dr. Johnson: Dr. Johnson has been working at Andover as a counselor for 13 years and he says, I enjoy working just as much now as I did 13 years ago. He says that Andover is a wonderful school with a super group of kids. He enjoys visita- tions from the former graduated students and likes seeing how much they have changed since their years at Andover. He enjoys kids tremendously and enjoys working with them everyday. Ms. King: I have been in education from Secretaries: Mary Rae Bragg Dorothy Colenso Linda Dunbar Cynthia Fahr Caddy Mennely Gloria Stein bach 20 Faculty elementary to junior high school and, then, to the university level. When I finally wound my way back to Michigan and Bloomfield Hills. I knew that I had found the BEST of all worlds. There is noth- ing better than working with An- dover High School students and staff I appreciate the ability, spirit, creativity and humor I find at every turn. Thanks, Andover, I love be- ing here! Ms. Posch: This is my 10th year working for Bloomfield Hills Schools. I have been here at Andover for eight years. I am enjoying this school year tremendously. I feel I have a wonderful group of seniors in my alphabetical section. I know I don ' t know everything about all of them, but there are many seniors that Eve come to know quite well. I truly care about all of them and wish them well. Andover is a great place and Em glad to be a part of it. Mr. Wolfe: Having spent 23 years at An- dover — as a student, teacher, and counselor supervisor — hopefully indicates how much I care about the school and especially the stu - dents with whom I have worked over the years. It is so important for teachers and administrators to be accessible to students, to pro- vide answers and set moral and academic examples for them, and to enforce discipline in a firm, fair, and caring manner. It has always been such a pleasure to work with students who care about their fu- ture and to help create a future for those who don ' t know how. ;
