Drovide Excellen Hinds County's loss was our gain when Robert M. Mayo left his posi- tion as superintendent of the county schools to become superintendent of the Clarltsdnle city school system in 1955. Bringing with him knowledge gained at Raleigh High School, Millsaps College, and Peabody Col- lege, Mr. Mayo is well-equipped to take over the responsibility of directing the overall operation ol' our public schools. In addition to his educational duties, he and Mrs. Mayo, the former Miss Lee Cloud, of Canton, Mississippi, have a full-time job raising a family of three active boys. The Mayo family is a welcome addition to the program of the First Methodist Church, where Mr. Mayo serves as a teacher and member of the Board of Stewards. Furthermore, he is doing a splendid job as com- missioner of the Coahoma district in the Boy Scouts. In recognition of his fine record as an able school administrator, responsible parent, and outstanding citizen, the Clarksdale WILDCAT salutes Mr. Robert M. Mayo, our superintendent of schools. X
