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
