dministralzion Mr. Richard Larson was the Superintendent of our school, and as the chief administrative officer of the school, was accountable to the local Board of Education. He was concerned with district-wide bud- getary responsibilities, and because of this obliga- tion, he had to be sure that normal school routines, as well as problems that arose, were handled accord- ing to established policy. Curriculum development, instructional improvement, transportation, person- nel, health services, student body activities, oper- ation of the plant, food services, and maintenance and repair were some of the operations he super- vised. Each activity had to be kept within the fi- nancial capabilities of the school district and had to meet federal and state laws and guidelines, as well as local school board policy.

During Homecoming week, there was just as much spirit among the teachers as there was among the students as they dressed up to raise the spirit of the school football team for the impor- tant, Homecoming football game. The spirit of the teachers did not stop after Homecoming week. It went on to support the Ding Dong Show that was put on by the speech and drama class. The teachers' involvement in the show showed the public the true support of the teachers and the good relations between the teachers and students, which helps with LEFT: Mr. Wilson displays his singing talent in the Ding Dong Show.
