enthusiasm for staff... cademics at Edsel Ford High School are more than stimulating, challenging, and productive. They are also confusing. Art and music lessons are part of the Eng- lish course, human relations classes teach speed reading and family living, and horticulture students decorate the building at Christmas. However, students soon adjust to these situations and come to enjoy them. Of course, classes like algebra, shorthand, and physical education are also offeredg and in these, the necessary excitement and enthu- siasm are generated by the instructors. Of these teachers, l however, no two are alike. Grading scales, testing formats, due dates, even jokes are different. Again, each semester l students must adjust themselves to new teaching methods l and temperaments. Nevertheless, all this is merely the re- flection of academic life-courses geared to student needs and teachers who are exciting, talented people. , Q .., 5. 7 ,- , ' X ,.f-1' .- ., A F3- ,, iii, 'bs 'E- + A 1-L ,nj l ll

for students in curriculum, scheduling, activities Bringing his question about the Varsity Club to Mr. Albert C. May, Stephen Cafego finds him a skilled advisor. Aside from serving as counselor in these matters, he helps students who might have problems concerning behaviorvor scholarship. Integral in the quest for the best and most efficient means to impart knowledge is the administrative staff, comprised of Mr. Anthony J, Lawski, principal, Mr. J. Ross Slabaugh, and Mr. Albert C. May, Assistant princi- pals. lVlr. Lawski, principal since the opening of the school, has witnessed the addition of a new wing, an increase in size of faculty and student body, and con-1 tinual improvements of all types throughout the building, physically and academically. As faculty head, budget planner, and public relations director, he must always be prepared to meet any and all situations which add to the interest and difficulty of his task. As assistant prin- cipal in charge of scheduling, Mr. Slabaugh, in his first year at Edsellford, took over the newly initiated college- type system of scheduling. Orientation and distribution of student materials, as well as teacher schedules, are necessary functions without which the operation of this school would be impossible. Mr. May, concerned with behavior and scholastic problems, is important in helping to determine in part the reputation of Edsel Ford High School. As advisor to the student government and co- ordinator of assemblies, clubs, organizations and dances, Mr. May is influential in student affairs. Together, the three principals form a nucleus which sets a steady guide basic to the American system of values. - . ew '- R ' , ' 3' M my W.. ,- nn- wi, 4:14345 Cooperation between administration and student is the keynote to success.
