through • • • decisions Bernard Schneller is seen looking over the school records. He heads the business office, administers school finances, school bus routes, and as- sists other school administrators. Mr. Earl Dean, School administrator and superintendant, spends most of his time seeing that the decisions of the school board are carried out. He acts as a go-between for the school and the school board. If a problem arises, he can make suggestions to the board con- cerning a solution. All matters that cannot be handled by normal means go through him to the school board. Along with his responsibilities come many difficulties and headaches. Mr. Dean was assisted in his duties by Margret Schmitz who acted as his secretary. Youth thinks intelligence a good sub- stitute for experience, and his el- ders think experience a good sub- stitute for intelligence. 29

A part of CHS that is mostly heard and not seen is the school board. Regardless, their importance cannot be underestimated. They keep the school running smoothly by making rules and regulations. They also make decisions concerning teacher's sal- aries and other financial matters, bussing, purchasing new equipment for the school, and the list of their duties continues on. These men of importance are, front row: Virgil Woltoff, William Slade, Arnold Lund, and Clerk Bernard Schneller; back row: Lee Everhart, Dick Hoffman, Principal Robert Tupper, Allan Ulrikson, Charles Kuehl, and Superintendant Earl Dean. An important part of the year was spent planning the new addition to CHS. Several meetings concerned bids for two-way radios for the busses which were partially paid for by the class of 1975. The school board approved the multi-district voca- tional school that was proposed during the year. The school failed because of a negative vote by the Beresford board. The board also agreed to expand the curriculum for next year by adding an Industrial Arts Program. Members of the board are shown here at work. They were caught while dis- cussing teacher's salaries for next year. The topic became a big issue during the last few months of school. 28

A. A. ) One of the many duties of the high school principal is giving daily announce- ments concerning such subjects as upcoming events, library fines, and results of re- cent activities. Robert Tupoer is com- pleting his final year as principal at CHS. He has served the position for 17 years. Next year he will head the indus- trial arts program, which will be new to the curriculum. B. ) Some people just can't keep their eyes on their work! Vivian Fossum, who acts as secretary in the principal's office has a lot of work to not keep her her eyes on. Although I can be me within myself- with my own thoughts, feelings, desires and dreams- that is not the whole me. The entire person is only complete in rela- tion to other people, because then every- thing that is truly me is finally given open expression. I need people because through them I become real. 30 C.) George Gross is seen working dille- gently at his desk and does not even have time to pose for a picture. He keeps very busy with his duties as vice-principal and teaches Algebra II, analysis, and Elements of Mathmatics. The EM class was completed by 11 seniors, who endured this experimen- tal class for six years. There is a rea- son why Mr. Gross has gotten a few gray hairs these last few years. ...so live—decently, fearlessly, joy- ously—and don't forget that in the long run it is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts!
