Kidd To set the standards and establish the policies for the Bellevue Schools, the citizens have chosen seven men, each of whom has placed the physical and mental well-being of the young people of Bellevue first on his list of good deeds. Throughout the year these men have worked tirelessly and unselfishly to improve the physical plant and to set up an academic and activity program which will give the student efficient training to accept responsibility intelligently when he takes his place in the community. 10

Edwin B. Long, Ed. D. Superintendent Robert H. Ruthart, M.A. Principal Since the Superintendent is the chief officer of the Board of Education, he must operate the schools according to the policies and Within the budget adopt- ed by the Board. His most important duty is the selection of an adequate staff, with Whose help he plans a curriculum and activity program that offers the greatest possible opportunity for the development of the all around student. He is responsible, also, for the evaluation of the results of the school program, making constant revisions to keep it in line with changing conditions. Within the limits of the budget, the Superin- tendent purchases the supplies and equipment needed to carry out the program of the schools. The Class of 1954 appreciates this Wise planning on the part of our Superintendent. The high school Principal must constantly evalu- ate the high school curriculum, so that it will provide the necessary learning opportunities, and the activity program, so that it will insure opportunities for de- velopment which will supplement classroom instinc- tion. Since the primary task of the school is i11struc- tion, every class, every activity, and every student must contribute to this instruction in some Way. The results of this evaluation must be used constructively so that the best possible training is provided for the individual student not only in the classroom but also in the varied extracurricular activities. For every contribution made by the Seniors 'to this teaching program, they, in turn have acquired the training and poise necessary to take their places in the community. 11
