k ' Alleghany County School Board Makes Pohcies When people join together to work for a common goal, there must be some governing force involved. Alleghany County schools have a policy making committee in their School Board. This group of peo- ple is responsible for the schools ' administration, budget, and employees. It is the intention of the School Board to improve the quality of education in Alleghany County through up-to-date equipment, improved facilities, and capable teachers. Members of the Board keep close contact with the administra- tive personnel in each school in order to maintain a constant awareness of the needs of each school. Belonging to the School Board requires a lot of time and unwavering good judgment. Those mem- bers who have been able to give invaluable service to the Board deserve much credit. Mr. C. M.

Mr. Cvizic makes final decisions within ACHS Mr. Cvizic assists Johnny Stinnett with a problem that has arisen. May I see Mr. Cvizic? This question is heard many times dur- ing the day because Mr. Cvizic is the most-sought-after person at ACHS. There are many decisions that must be made within the school that cannot be finally de- cided without Mr. Cvizic ' s ap- proval. Even though Mr. Cvizic is a constantly busy person, he still finds time to mingle with the stu- dents and to get to know as many of them as possible. He has that admirable ability to remember names, faces, and events which is a valuable asset to a man in Mr. Cvizic ' s position. Mr. Dusan Cvizic, Principal Concord College, A.B.
