Warren G. Jennings, superintendent. Keeping FCHS on the go and in the know, out efficient administration works daily coping with the everyday problems of our educational system. Maintaining a stable administration-student alliance is not an easy task, especially when the problems of finance and discipline must also be met. Nevertheless, they never fail to commendably fulfill their responsibility with integrity. At the commencement of this school year, a new superintendent, Mr. Warren G. Jennings, was announced the successor of our previous superintendent, Clyde C. Com. Mr. Jennings has had a great deal of experience both in the United States and abroad. He last held a position in Germany where he served as superintendent of schools for children of American servicemen. This experienced administrator was a welcome addition to our local school system. Returning for the third year to serve our school is our capable principal, Mr. Lowell McDonald. Co-operating with Mr. Jennings, the two composed a competent team to lead the FCHS staff. All efforts combined in the work of the administration produced an effective and successful system.
