Proposed Changes Carried Out Unlike back to school '67 , the re- turn to Groves this year was not only on schedule, but almost pleasant. Much of the change can be credited to action by the Board of Education, Superinten- dent John Blackhall Smith, and other Hill Building personnel. - V Many academic innovations and physi- cal improvements are evident. These in- clude several additions to our school - a better equipped and more comfortable library, an enlarged and relocated teach- ers lounge, individual offices for the de- partment heads, an enlarged counseling area, and numerous classrooms. New ideas in curriculum areas in- cluded the possibility of eliminating Iinal exams for MAB and BH average seniors and revision of the policy on quality points in honors courses. 1Top Leftj Consulting a chart, Dr. John Blackhall Smith points out one facet of the building expansion program to his secretary, Mrs. Connie Kroll. tBottoni leftj Board members Mr. Richard Halsled, hlrs.
