ADMINISTRATION AND BOARD OF EDUCATION PLAN TOGETHER Our Board of Education and Administra- tion have worked consistently to better our school. The Board members with an average service of more than nine years come from all walks of life, they include the assistant plant manager of a rubber company, a painting con- tractor, the vice-president of another rubber company, a former bank executive, two plant supervisors, the department head of an insur- ance company, the sales manager for an auto- mobile dealer, and an outstanding research man in microphotography. The record of service by board members has been a unique one. Butler High School has eight sending districts from two counties extending more than 200 square miles in area. Therefore the Butler Board must not only understand the complexity of the problems of these sending districts but also try to serve the needs of 1000 students on a tuition basis. Butler administrators have toiled diligent- ly through the years to maintain and improve high school standards. This year, Teachers College and the Butler Board have cooperated BOARD OF EDUCATION to give an administrative interne the oppor- tunity to gain practical experience. The Kel- logg Foundation has joined with Columbia to implement this interneship program which enables the prospective administrator to gather information for his dissertation while working on a project of value to the school he is in. In addition, our assistant in adminis- tration has been assigned general administra- tive duties by both the superintendent and the high school principal. The high school faculty has a total of 705 years of teaching experience to benefit the students. Teachers have studied at fifty differ- ent colleges and universities, more than half the faculty have advanced degrees. XVhi1e the elementary school is being built, it has been necessary to alter the school program. Butler's 1200 students have met successfully the five lunches, two dismissals, eight periods and other changes forced by the increased enrollment. This was life at Butler High School dur- ing the year 1953-1954.
