New oard members battle economic The Board of Education and School Board who formulate and set District 205 policies welcomed two new members to the School Board, Mrs. Lyndell Beckham and Mr. James Veld. Central Administration saw Dr. Jack Curless advance to the position of Superintendent. Joining Dr. Da- vid Ely, Assistant Superintendent of Business Affairs, and Mr. Donald O'Brien as Associate Superinten- dent was Mr. Dan Carmichael, Assis- tant Superintendent of Curriculum and Research. One major problem faced by the Central Administration was coping with the financing for the school dis- trict. Wrestling with inflation caused the threat of cutting staff and some programs. A referendum ori- ginally scheduled for Thornwood's auditorium was again cancelled be- cause of fiscal budgeting. Even though the district has suf- fered a decline in enrollment this past year, Dr. Mitchell, Thornwood principal, felt that the academic lev- el was improving with the new lunch! study program. Mrs. Marilyn Bauer was named as an assistant principal at Thornwood, after serving several years as an ad- ministrative assistant. Retiring at the end of the year was Assistant Principal Ralph Rowe. All of the Thornwood administration spent many extra hours preparing for Thornwood's Tenth Anniversary celebration, even as they were kept busy with their daily responsibilities seeing that Thornwood ran smooth- ly.
