In Memory of Our Late Principal Mr. 0. B. Hayward, principal of our school for the past eleven years, was a man who strove to apply a constructive philosophy of education to the fulfillment of his duty. Through his meticulous regulation of school policy, he created the enviornment which he felt would afford every stu¬ dent the best possible start in education. He placed scholarship at the top of his scale of values, but never slighted the character and personality¬ building experience of extra-curricular activities. Although his tenure on earth has ended, his memory will be preserved, not only in the educational program he helped develop, but in the minds and hearts of all who knew him: friends, parents, teachers, and the thou¬ sands of students for whose educational development he was responsible. To these his life was dedicated, to these his death brought sorrow.

Directors of the Hammond School System R. B. Miller is Superintendent of the Hammond Public School System. The Hammond Board of Education, under the capable direction of Superintendent of Hammond public schools, Mr. R. B. Miller has a great deal of influence on the students’ school lives. The School Board appropriates funds for various projects in the Hammond school system. Not only does the board direct the funds, but it also arranges for the completion of these projects. The board has made it possible for Clark to use facilities which promote both educational and rec¬ reational development. Mr. Miller has been at his present duties since December 1, 1959. Since this date one of his pri¬ mary projects has become a reality. Hammond now has four high schools which offer courses in driver training. His plan for offering Russian in all Hammond public high schools has not yet been initiated, but is soon to be. Within the next two years the School Board will have another complete high school added to its jurisdiction. This will increase the number of its already overabundant obligations.
