Board of Education Sets High Standards for City’s Schools Fayetteville is proud of its achievements in education; it is proud of its board of education which has made these achievements possible. With ability and devotion, each member of the board has dedicated himself to the government of one of the top school systems in North Carolina. The Fayetteville school system has been fortu- nate to have a policy-making board composed of outstanding Mr. J. Mel Thompson, Chairman Dr. John M. Harry, Vice-Chairman Mr. C. Reid Ross, secretary Mr. Allie Atkinson Mr. Luther B. Black Mr. Rupert E. Bullard citizens of our community. Working together, they are the deciding factor in the approval of curriculums, the em- ployment of personnel, and the selection of new school sites for the city’s constantly expanding educational pro- gram. Through its experience, the school board acts as one, recognizing the important needs and making the vital decisions necessary to maintain our schools’ high ratings. Mrs. Dan S. Currie, Jr. Mr. Neill A. Currie, Jr. (not pictured) Rev. C. R. Edwards Mr. Louie L. Rouse Mrs. Harry B. Stein Mr. James R. Warner 22

Mr. Ross — Devoted to His Work In an effective system, there must be one person whose experience and good judgment earn him the responsibility of leadership. To the Superintendent of Fayetteville City Schools, Mr. C. Reid Ross, we owe the credit of an effective school system for the past sixteen years. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Mr. Ross began his career as a teacher and later as a principal in Lenoir County. Harnett County later became his home while he served as its superin- tendent. In July 1951, Mr. Ross came to Fayetteville and assumed his present position as head of the city school system. Aside from his administrative duties, he has come in contact with many students as a speaker at school assemblies, awards programs, and graduations. An avid Bulldog supporter, Mr. Ross has loyally fol- lowed each F.H.S. sports event, cheering the team to victory along with the very people he has so diligently served. In his modern office, Mr. Ross takes a “breather” from his heavy work schedule. The administration building provides a symbolic background for the Superintendent of Fayetteville Qty Schools, Mr. C. Reid Ross. 23
