New Programs Initiated by It Mr. Alonzo A. Monday, Jr. is serving his fifth year as Superintendent of Floyd County Schools. 1965-66 was a year for the Floyd County School Board to open new doors for themselves and the students of Floyd County. In September with the renovation of the old Harris Hart School complete, the School Board and all county school officials opened the doors to their new offices. Determined that the studentsof Floyd County would have the best possible education, the Board initiated several new programs. Early in the year, it was decided that Floyd County would join the educational television company being formed by surrounding counties and to continue the neighborhood youth corps, a federally sponsored program.

Academics Be it the opening and closing of a classroom door, a textbook, or a school bus door, the aim is the same: the acquisition of knowledge. A school is judged by the students who pass through its doors: the students who can ' t stop asking questions because they are eager to learn both the what and why, and those who remain silent pondering all that has been said. Teachers are a vital part of the learning process as they open and attempt to push wide the doors of learning so that the minds of their students will possess the keys for opening the doors of the future. 11

Progressive Administration In the suite of rooms known as the office, the decisions are made which keep FCHS running smoothly. Here the principal, Mr. Hollandsworth, takes action on matters concerning the economics of the school. It is his job to keep in order the profits of clubs, classes and school-wide projects and to supervise their spending. He also decides the policy of the school on matters of outside activities and guides the faculty in student-teacher relations. To Mr. Houston, assistant principal, falls the job of disciplinary measures. However, his duti es are not limited to this, for he generally as- sists Mr. Hollandsworth in all areas of school administration. Mr. Ray Hollandsworth, in his fourth year as Principal of FCHS, received both his B.S. and M.S. from VPI. Mr. John M. Houston, a former classroom teacher, is serving his first year as Assistant Principal and Director of Athletics. 1 j| y l ' il m Whether it be lenders of cellophane tape, finders of lost and receptionist Mrs. Lorice O ' Conner and secretary Mrs. books, or answerers of innumerable questions, bookkeeper Iris Poff are always ready and anxious to be of service. 13
