Faculty Faces Important Decisions MRS. HILDA B. CASSELL MR. MAX B. CLAYTON MRS. VIRGINIA COBBS MRS. FRANCES CROWDER B.S., Radford College B.A., Elon College B.S., U. of Alabama B.S., Longwood College Teaches Home Economics Teaches English Teaches U.S. History and Teaches Civics and World Coach Government Geography Mrs. Weatherford, Mrs. Irby, Mrs. Harrison, and Mrs. Jordan enjoy a rare break before one of the faculty meetings. Such moments of relaxation became more infrequent as teachers rushed to meet the hectic schedule imposed on them by evaluation. Mr. Thweatt reviews a report submitted to him by one of the evaluation committees. As head of the school’s evaluation program, much of the responsibility rests on his shoulders. After thoroughly going over each of the reports, he must point out the good and bad parts and suggest how they might be made better. Administration—7

This scene is a familiar one as the day’s beginning meets here as stencils are typed, tests are run off, excuses are written, and the phone rings in- cessantly. Administration—9
