rev' Dress Code Finoilized . . Groigg Instrumentoil in District's Growth In August, the Board of Education ap- proved a dress code which was more defined than dress policies of previous years. The ensuing months brought conflict over re- strictions placed upon the students by the new code. Fort Osage, like other schools, had entered the decade of the dress dispute. Fashion dictated shoulder-length hair and beards for the boys and pantsuits or mini, maxi, and midi skirts for girls, but these didn't fall within the limitations of the dress code. A generation gap threatened but was warded off by the formation of a stu- dent-administrative committee to reconsider and perhaps revise the current code. Leading the Board of Education this year was new-comer Victor Gragg. Taking the helm as superintendent, Gragg brought to the district his experience of 11 years as superintendent of Lewis R-1 District. The public became involved in school policy with the organization of a Citizen's Advisory Committee to make financial sug- gestions to the Board of Education.

Stott Grows As . . . Principals Set Plcin For SchooI's Growth Inheriting the office of vice-principal, Kim Schaberg began his administrative career last year. lVlr. Schaberg sponsored Student Council and planned all extra-curricular ac- tivities. For the sixth year, Mr. Richard Franklin executed the office of principal. Richard Franklin celebrated his tenth year at the Fort in 1970, four years of teaching and six in ad- ministration. With the ever widening division of the ju- nior and senior high schools, more emphasis and importance was placed upon the office of the junior high principals, aptly occupied by Mr. Dave Kulhman and Mr. Robert Kee- ton. The junior high will eventually become a separate institution, therefore multiplying their duties. There were curriculum changes made in ninth grade English and PE, eighth grade Art seventh grade shop and home- living. Mr. Kenneth Smith, principal of Vo-Tech, led the Vo-Tech, built three years ago to superior vocational training of its pupils. TOP Richard Franklin speaks at confirms ur h . f the Christmas assembly.
