Wright Attendance 'Best education' problems motivate determined Administration To provide curricula and facilities that would give the com- munity's students their best possible chance of keeping in step with mankind's constantly expanding knowledge about his uni- verse, Livonia's hard-working, dedicated, seven-member Board met at least four times each month, for many hours each time. Early in the year Superintendent Benton Yates announced his retirement following the 1969-70 school year. The Board named Rolland H. Upton as his successor, and elevated Mr. Upton from Assistant to Deputy Superintendent so that he could work closely with Mr. Yates before assuming the superintendency. Old familiar faces comprised Franklin's local administra- tion during this school year, new faces in the building were those Churchill High School personnel, who shared Franklin facilities until their new building is ready next year.
