20 Administration Offers Advice, Praise, Promotes Good Will Communication was the key word for all of GW. The Admin- istration set the pace for whole-hearted cooperation at all levels. The greatest challenge of the year was to work out necessary problems and differences resulting from the merger of Langston and George Washington High Schools. Mr. E. L. Motley, principal, worked closely with faculty, and student groups. A second main task that the administration tackled was the study and revision of the school’s curriculum. In an effort to meet the needs of the students, the staff tried to introduce more varied courses in the vocational training, industrial arts, home economics, and elective fields. Programming each student's course was accomplished quite efficiently with the McBee system of scheduling. The office person- nel expanded this system so as to provide simpler schedule forms for students.
