Dedicated to William D. McGee This year it is our privilege to dedicate the 1984-85 Trail Blazer yearbook to one of Bloom Trail’s most outstanding individuals ... Principal William D. McGee, who retires at the end of this school year after five years of service to Bloom Trail. The son of a minister and a school teacher, Mr. McGee was born March 30, 1927, in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from high school, he attended South Carolina State College, Columbia University, and the University of Illinois. Mr. McGee started his professional career by teaching physical education in Chicago schools. Following that position, Mr. McGee was the principal of Washington Jr. High School, principal of the Charles E. Gavin elementary school, assistant superintendent for the Educational Service Region of Cook County, vice principal of Rich Central High School, and finally, principal of Bloom Trail High School. Mr. McGee has received many honors in his life, including: Harvey’s “Citizen of the Year” in 1971, “Administrator of the Year” in 1976, and the Park Forest Human Relations Commission’s “Good Egg Award” in 1980. As principal of Bloom Trail High School, Mr. McGee’s major goals were: first, to generate more pride in Bloom Trail among the students, the staff, and the community; and second, to improve the conduct of the student body, so that they could accept each other’s ethnic heritage and learn to get along. He feels these goals have been attained. When asked if dreams could come true, what one thing would he like to have done for Trail, Mr. McGee replied, “I would like to have been able to increase activities for students, such as speech, drama, and music, and have activity buses every evening. I would also like to have somehow created a daily activity period during the regular school day in which to have school functions so that more students could participate and become involved at Bloom Trail. Mr. McGee has greatly increased student attendance, improved discipline, and given us all a greater sense of pride in our school. His presence at Trail will be missed.
