CHS Classroom Work Reflects The Needs Of The Individual In Life An education is an experience that requires two separate processes. The first involves the teaching of the sub- ject matter. The second involves the learning of the subject matter. Wheth- er or not one process is more important than the other, is an unanswerable ques- tion. However, at Churchland High School, the students are presented with the best faculty available. As a quali- fied individual in a specific area, the teacher can impart a well-versed knowl- edge of the subject upon the student, he can instill a love for the subject in the student, and he can influence individual achievement in that field of study. Such an accomplishment is the gift of an education. Academics 21

School Administrators Keep Restless Pace Mr. Lloyd E. Gaskins (left), Assistant Principal, and Mr. Frank D. Beck, Principal Mr. Beck, as the co-ordinating head of Churchland High School, and Mr. Gaskins, as his assistant, have much more to do than meets the eye or even the imagination of most students. Credit should be give ' n them for their ability to manage so many and varied activities with such skill. To begin with, Mr. Beck is responsible for everything that is in a ' ny way related to the school. He must supervise all instruction in the school and is responsible for Churchland’s public relations program. The care and main- tenance of the school are also under his sup- ervision. It is his duty to formulate the cur- riculum ; one of his biggest jobs, which takes months and months, is scheduling. Some of the duties of which most people are not aware include such things as counting all the houses being built in this area to estimate the num- ber of students that will attend CHS, and taking the census. Besides these duties, Mr. Beck must take care of routine office busi- ness. Mr. Gaskins shares some of Mr. Beck’s re- sponsibilities. In enforcing discipline and supervising transportation facilities, he lightens somewhat the principal’s burden. He also has such various duties as alternating with the principal in representing the school at meetings, observing the general manage- ment of the building, and assisting in class- room visitation and teacher evaluation. In addition to their professional activities, both Mr. Beck and Mr. Gaskins are perhaps CHS’s most ardent boosters and supporters, for they are always seen at the many extra- curricular activities in which the Truckers are involved. 22 Administration
