of Board of Education ATaking great pride in the already superb school system, as well as working as hard as he can to improve it. is the conscientious superintendent of schools, Dr. Dwight B. Ireland. Although his schedule is filled to the brim, he still takes time to talk with students, who are his prime concern. In order to insure the best possible teaching staff for the schools, he personally interviews all new teachers. Oftentimes his ever- present enthusiasm for new projects is almost overpowering. If others had not offered to put in parts of the new courtyard, he would probably do it all himself! AAlthough their jobs are difTerent,4often administrative as- sistants meet to solve common problems. Mr. Norman Wolfe, who supervises the custodial and cafeteria staffs, the trans- portation system and all maintenance, checks new plans with Dr. Richard Featherstone, assistant in charge of building, planning and construction. Keeping abreast with curriculum changes is a full time job, agrees Mr. Daniel Nesbitt, director of curriculum for Bir- mingham public schools. Constantly in the process of revision, the extensive curriculum seeks to meet modern problems. Y 1' 'mv aif'

'avg Wins pile up, spirits soar There's a time to exercise the brawn as well as the brain, and that's when our athletic teams take the field amid cheering fans. End runs, line drives, churning water . . . signal that the boys are in action. All during the school year we turn out to support our teams, at home and away. There is something catching about the frenzy created during a close game. It is contagion that follows us far from the fields of play. We are sitting high when the teams are riding a winning streak, sunk into bleak despair when they are losing . . . and we enjoy every minute of it. Yet, there is more to it than just playing the game. Some of us grow muscles, others increase their cheering ca- pacity, but all are learning sportsmanship, the spirit of competition, and how to face conliicts and decision. It is an education . . . in living. And it is fun. 79
