North Adams School Board NORTH ADAMS COMMUNITY SCHOOLS BOARD OF EDUCATION: Superintendent; Herbert N. Banning, President; Louis Krueckeberg, Dr. James Burk; Clarence Bultemeier, Secretary; Gail Grabill, Vice-President; Richard J. Macklin, Treasurer. For more than eighty years the Decatur High School operated as a part of the School City of Decatur. As of July 3, 1963, it is now operated as a part of the North Adams Com¬ munity Schools. During this more than eighty years, seniors have graduated from different buildings, which were used as the high school building. Planning is now going on so that students graduated from Decatur and the surrounding community can graduate from another high school. It is the superintendent ' s desire and that of the Board of School Trustees that the aca¬ demic standards obtained over the many years can be transferred to the new high school. Also, other areas of training must now be made available to the student, now not possible because of building limitations. This process of new building requirements for meeting the present day educational re¬ quirements has existed before as the high school has moved to different buildings since the original one. The over-all administrative set-up will re¬ main the same with but very few exceptions. The corporation will be operated under a five man board instead of three. The powers and duties of the board remain the same and and changed only as the state legislature changes them. The main responsibilities of providing buildings, equipment, and a track¬ ing force are the same as those of the origi¬ nal school board many years ago. 6

Principal Hugh Andrews Superintendent Gail Grabill Since the theme of this year ' s Ravelings is Records, may I, as principal, emphasize this from the viewpoint of the administration. Every day you are making for yourself some kind of record. On each new day you are adding something to the account of the days gone by. When you graduate, you leave with us a certain kind of cumulative record—excellent, good, poor, or indifferent. This includes scholarship, as indicated by your grades; your dependability, as indi¬ cated by your attendance, punctuality, and preparation of lessons; your school citizen¬ ship, as indicated by the way you get along with your schoolmates, teachers, and of¬ ficials. The administration must pass this, your record, on as colleges or e mployers request it. This record is very convincing! The depth of any program of a school re¬ flects the desire of the community. The edu¬ cational needs change as the social and economical needs change. The school must constantly be aware of the community edu¬ cational requirements. Thus local participa¬ tion and effort by the entire community is necessary for a good school. A good school is not only an asset to a community, but re¬ flects the attitude of the community toward education. Changes will come rapidly in the near fu¬ ture. The administration, faculty, and parents must work together for a good education for the students of tomorrow. I feel confident this will be accomplished and graduating students will go forward with the necessary training for making a living and being an asset in the community of their choice. 7
