GUI2 SUD RIDIIGDOEHIC FRED BODE Superintendent F. H. Bode received his B.A. from Heidel- burg College and his M.A. from Columbia University. Mr. Bode is the highest official of the entire Cuyahoga Falls School system, being in charge of all administrative personnel and teachers. He not only has the responsi- bility for all administration, for interviewing and hiring teachers, but for the educa- tion of all children of school age in Cuyahoga Falls. Even if a child is privately tutored, or goes to a private school, or goes to a school for the handicapped, he has the responsibility of seeing that these children are receiving a good education. With all his other duties Mr. Bode has been instrumental in bringing about many innovations. Among these are a new grading system, junior high schools, and enriched classes. A Mr. Bode is something of a jack-of-all-trades, an excellent farmer, a good car- penter, and a fair plumber. 7

The Cuyahoga Falls Board of Education deserves a great deal of credit for its dedicated efforts to solve the problems of our entire school system. The five members, who make up the Board, are elected for a term of two years. They meet twice a month to discuss and solve the difficulties of Finances, Personnel, Building and Grounds, and Health and Safety. These issues form the basic committees which investigate and report to the Board any problems which may arise. The Board then acts as a committee of the whole in rendering its discussions to these particular problems. We, the members of the 1958 graduating class, are indeed grateful to these unselfish citizens who work so earnestly to improve our school system. 6
