PCD TIAC BCDARD QF EDUCATIO As the sun finds its place in the sky and birds begin their song, throughout the city the doors of schools are thrown open to admit the flow of stud- ents. The day proceeds and at four o'clock the great doors close again. Yet behind this relatively simple process is a marvelous mechanism--the Board of Education. Inside the walls of a school lie many problems. What shall be taught? How shall construction be financed? The invisible motor of the school system expertly answers questions such as these and keeps the education wheels turning. A capable team of seven people, under the direc- tion of Glenn Griffin, meets more than twice each month and serves without salary. This year's board consisted of-Mrs. Elsie Mihalek, Monroe Osmun, Louis H. Schimmel, Dr. Walter L. Godsell, William Anderson, and Rev. J. Allen Parker. Standing back to gaze at Pontiac Central, we realize the successfulness of the Board of Education. A well built school, ample supplies, and a newly refinished pool - these are the results of a willing and hard-working group. Dr. Danna Whitmer, Superintendent of Schools and Dr. Phillip Proud Assistant Superintendent in charge of personnel and Public Relations, discuss the testing program that was recently initiated in Pontiac.

COORDINATQRS 0 After the policies for the Pontiac School District have been determined by the Board of Education, they must be put into effect. This is done in the high schools under the supervision of the central office administrators: Dr. Dana Whitmer, Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Otto Hufziger, Assistant Superintendent, Business, Dr. Phillip Proud, Assistant Superintendent, Personnel and Public Relations, Dr. Russell Curtis, Co- ordinator, Secondary Education, George Putnam, Su- pervisor, Secondary Vocal and Instrumental Music, and Hollie Lepley, Director, Physical Education. Pontiac is a large city with many school-aged children and teen-agers, all of whom require a little different programming, training, and guidance. To meet these needs requires a variety of skills and knowledge, but as evidenced by the titles of its members, each of the specific areas which concern the board is assigned to a man well qualified in the field. Thus, through a practical system of administra- tion, and through the efforts of men thoroughly know- ledgeable in their jobs, Pontiac has a smooth-running and superior school system.
