MR. WILLIAM M. KULQTAD PRINCIPAL OF UAK HILLS Mr. Kulstad finds that paper work keeps him at his desk many hours during the school day and often far into the night. Here he performs the routine task of signing a check drawn upon the student activity fund allowing some club to make a purchase or pay a bill. i ADMINISTRATIDN - Today's world is a world of automation in which education must keep pace. Largely through the efforts of Mr. William M. Kulstad, Principal, Oak Hills High School became the first public high school in Hamilton County to use the Univac data processing system for report cards and registration. Other recognition has been brought to the school through his published articles in such magazines as Student Life, his work for the adoption of a school ring, the promotion of Tartan Day, and his member- ship in national and state professional organizations. Mr. Kulstad, who received his Master's degree from the University of Minnesota and did advanced work both there and at the University of California, came to the Cincinnati area from a high school principal- ship in Rapid City, South Dakota. He has always had a particular interest in Student Council organi- zations, and this has continued at Oak Hills. At the present time, he serves on the State Student Council Executive Committee representing the Ohio State Principalls Association. For the future, Mr. Kulstad looks toward the es- tablishment of a remedial and developmental read- ing program at Oak Hills, and a well-rounded curric- ulum to meet the needs of all students. Thus, he feels, must the challenge of tomorrow's world be met in the classrooms of today.
