Board Approves Improvements Leadership and authority are two importan. qualities that school board officials continually strive to maintain in the organization and guidance of a school system. The Board of Education approved construction of many projects of expansion and improvement to Charles Page. Two projects that were completed involved the expansion of the band room and Memorial Stadium. The band room was remodeled on the inside which included additional restrooms, drinking fountains and storage space. The expansion of the band room was extended on the north end of the school. The delayed completion of the project this year was due to matching the brick to the brick used to build the school 17 years ago, stated Dr. Wendell Sharpton. The expansion of Memorial Stadium included double seating capacity on the east side, and new restrooms on the west side. These were just some of the improvements which were approved by the school board T V administrators.

92 New Principal Takes Over Among the many changes that occurred during the school year at Charles Page, was the addition of the new high school principal, Mr. Jerry A. Baird. Mr. Baird has been in the state's educational system for sixteen years, eleven years as a high school principal and two years as superintendent, all of which were at Mounds, Oklahoma. Mr. Baird, who switched from being a superintendent back to serving as a principal, expressed that he had a strong desire to get into a larger school system. A lot of people look at a move from superintendent to principal as a step down but I don't look at it that way in a school like Sand Springs, stated Mr. Baird. Much leadership and concern was displayed I by Mr. Baird in the way he talked and listened to the students, commented senior Gay Bunch. He's in his office a lot and you don't have to make appointment on top of appointment to get in to talk to him. I think he's really a personable man, said Mark Pogue. Even though he is old-fashioned in many ways, he also shows concern for the student body, stated Bruce Lewis. Mr. Baird is a man of high ideals based on a solid background of experience. The student and faculty of Page and the residents of the surrounding community gained a responsible leader in their quest for promoting achievement in Charles Page High School. jerry Baird, labors over one of many business letters that pertain to the welfare MR.
