Administrators Strive To Improve School One of Calumet High School ' s big- gest assets is its administrative staff, which supervises and plans school activities and manages its over -all operation. Our futures are being guided by these competent individuals: the Superintendent of Schools, the School Board, the Principal, and the Assistant Principals. These men and women are con- stantly searching for ways to im- prove and raise the standards of education in our own school and in the entire school system. We as students are not, as of yet, able to adequately appreciate what they are doing for us . But in the years to come we will realize how much they have done to enrich our lives and broaden our opportunities for the future. As one of the Assistant Principals, Mr. John Tsangaris carries a portion of the responsi- bility of managing the school and its students. Being in charge of Calumet High School and supervising its instructors is not, by any means, an easy task, but Mr. Max Hile in his years as principal has proven himself to be a capable and wise administrator. 16
