Willard Graff Superintendent of Schools I have the highest praise for the students in our schools. In the main, they are responsible young people who re- gard their education seriously, said Superintendent Wil- lard J. Graff. Mr. Graff regarded seriously the education offered to the more than 22,000 students enrolled in the Springfield public schools. He was convinced that the future of the nation largely depended on the quality of the present educational program. Mr. Graffs leadership in providing educational oppor- tunities and the necessary facilities for the youth of Springfield brought him wide-spread professional recog- nition. In addition to serving as president of the Missouri Association of School Administrators, he was a partici- pant on the program of the national convention of the American Association of School Administrators and a member of the planning committee for the Governorls Conference on Education. As superintendent, Mr. Graff was executive officer for the Board of Education and its chief administrator. The board depended upon him for counsel on questions re- quiring board action, the personnel of the system de- pended upon him to represent them before the board i in professional and welfare matters, and the community depended upon him for the vision and leadership to provide the education their children needed.
