Su ze i tte tcte tt Coordinating the activities and functions of the Ames schools is Walter Hetzel, Superin- tendent of the Ames Public School System for the third year. The superintendent, elected by the Board of Education, serves on the governing body of the Ames schools. The members of the Board of Education for 1957-1958 are: Don S. Stevens, Mrs. Lee Rosebrook, Thomas Hannum, Frank E. Adams, Earl Holtz, J. M. Walter, and Mrs. Julia Cole Welden. The Board is in charge of all the financial matters and school policies. Officers for this year are: Frank E. Adams, president; Frank B. Howell, secretary; Hiram Munn, treasurer; and Walter Hetzel, superin- tendent. The rapid growth of the Ames Public Schools is keeping these leaders busy planning the ex- pansion of the staff, equipment, buildings, and future sites needed for these additional stu- dents. Enrollment in the Ames Public Schools has increased from 2565 in 1950 to 3716 in 1957 with a projected enrollment of 4889 by 1962. The increasing tempo of sociological change has at the same time made necessary careful study of curriculum. The most critical problem immediately ahead is the financing of new buildings. This is due to Iowa's constitu- tional provision limiting bonding capacity to five per cent of the taxable property in the district. With about half of the property in Ames state- owned and tax-exempt, bonding capacity is too low to finance future building needs. The Iowa Legislature is being asked to help. These problems mean added work for the secretarial staff also. The staff includes: Mrs. Grace I. Elliot, secretary to the superintendent; Miss Laura Sayre, secretary to the business man- ager; Mrs. Edna Davis, bookkeeper; and Miss Karyl Sills and Mrs. Patricia Demaray, secretaries. Regular meetings of the Board of Education are held the second Monday of each month. They are open to the public. 8
