Committed To Superiority Superintendency And School Board Provide Standards Improvement and efficiency of the Mesa Public School system were the main goals for the superin- tendency and the school board. The smoking policy, closed-campus lunch, and corporal punishment were examples of controversial subjects discussed by the superintendency. The administration also dealt with topics such as illegal search and seizure, computers, and projected changes for upcoming years. Joe Porter was elected president of the governing board, and Donna Green was elected as clerk. Cor- don Driggs, who served a four-year term, and Dari Andersen, who served two terms as clerk and two terms as president, retired from the school board. Replacing the members were Wilford Cordon and Jack Davis. Marilyn Wilson, who was also named Me- sa's Woman of the Year, returned as a member. Following his resignation as superintendent. Dr. George Smith accepted a position as vice president of education at Northern Arizona University. Dr. James Zabaris was promoted from deputy superin- tendent to superintendent following a nation-wide search. Returning were Dr. J. Roland Ingraham as associate superintendent and Dr. Doug Barnard, Da- vid Eagleburger. Pat Pomeroy, Dr. Ray Rafford, and Dr. Doug Vance as assistant superintendents. By keeping the best interest of the students in mind, the Mesa Pubic School system was clearly im- proved through the dedication and diligence of the superintendency and the school board.

Largest Staff Holds Toughest Job The strength in the number of faculty members increased to ac- commodate the abundance of students. Our staff, consisting of 6 administrators, 164 teachers, 22 classifieds, and 16 aids, was no- ticed as the largest in the district. Having such a large and helpful staff benefited the students edu- cation and provided extra per- sonal support. Secretary Debbie Richardson super- vises the busy schedule of the coun- selors.
