a-1 All Dr. M. Forney District Superintendent The Board of Trustees was composed of five lay-citizens elected for a four-year term by the 66,000 people in Huntington Beach Unified School District. These men met two nights of every month to plan and discuss the education of about 13,000 students. Since their task was tedious but necessary, the meeting room usually stood empty. When a matter of controversy was to be intro- duced though, the place was filled to capacity. Such interesting issues included: the selection of the name for the new high schoolg delegation of the boundaries, which affected all the other schools, the direction for securing funds for maintaining the established high schools and for building new onesg and the hiring of teachers and staffs. Although each involved heated debate, the results were suc- cessful. The routine duties of the board were discussing matters of student dress regulations and school conduct. Also, these men determined the offered curriculum which was set according to state restrictions. District Administrators directed District policies and saw that Board recommendations were carried out by the school administrations. F.V.H.S. owes much praise and pride to these eight hard-working and thoughtful men. District Admmistrators J. -in-7: Dr. Fullmer Mr. Flanagan Page 21-faculty

Page 22-faculty Dr. Paul Berger Principal Dr. Paul Berger, our principal, proved to he a line, upstanding representative of the pride at F.V. Administrating the rules and regulations of the Board of Trustees to meet with District policies, budgeting for the means of each area of the school, evaluating the staff, providing assistance to new teachers, overseeing the supervision of each depart- ment and area, and enduring the pressures of our school's accreditation are just a few of the many duties of our busy principal. Even though Dr. Ber- ger may have experienced some dilemma, he was always ready to smile at everyone. He devoted much of his time and effort to guiding the welfare of every student on campus. He entered into each phase of their school life-guidance, education, and involve- ment in activities. Dr. Berger participated in many events to show his interest and spirit in our school. Dr. Berger deserved many thanks and much pride for his concern and enthusiasm in F.V.H.S.
