Communication and Education Are Their Goals Dr. Lloyd Jones, Superintendent Approving various educational pro- grams submitted from schools within the Torrance Unified School District is but one of many jobs of the Torrance Board of Education. As during every year, the Board strives to establish strong communications with the stu- dents that are their responsibility and give them a chance to let their views be heard. Thus, they continued on with the student-board member meetings, in which students from North, South, West and Torrance High Schools met once a month with district administrators to discuss various problems within these campuses and possibly find solutions to them. This year, Dr. Lloyd Jones served his second term as Superintendent of Tor- rance Schools. Our Area Administrator was Dr. W. Buettgenbach. Dr. W. Buettgenbach.
