A . F.D.S.H. Welcomes New Principalls Ideas With Open Arms Mr. Robert Bargman, new prin- cipal for FDSH, moved to F.D. from California. One of the new ideas he brought with him was the mini- coursev. Experts were brought in on Saturdays to speak on any subject the students were interested in. Another project was the revision of the school handbook. The new one included pictures, a schedule of events, rules and general information about the school and curriculum. In the Held of exchange programs, Mr. Bargman set one up within the U.S. where students could spend a week at a school in another state. Project Community-Communica- tionsi' was set up where families of high school students hosted a get- together once a month. During school hours parents were invited to visit classes or talk to teachers. Cross-age tutoring was also intro- duced and this involved both the high school and elementary level. Later in the year, Mr. Bargman organized a Round Table , foun- ded to give students a chance to talk about problems and get to know their administration better. In the spring an activity open house was held, giving the students a chance to display their achieve- ments. Forrest Marquis, vice-principal, assisted Mr. Bargman in his vast duties. He was in charge of atten- dance, curriculum, and the duties of discipline and supervision. Vernon 'KDutch Huseman, dir- ector of athletics, supervised the entire sports program for grades K-12. He scheduled games, hired officials, purchased equipment, and filed reports with the l.H.S. Athletic Association. Dr. Earl Berge administered the policies of the entire school system. The school board set teachers, salar- ies and planned the future.
