KIRBY Superintendent Facing the problems of an ever-expanding community, Mr. Kirby is unwilling to compromise high quality education for expediency. A continuous and well-balanced curriculum is his main obiective in spite of his time-consuming iob of planning for adequate facilities to guarantee top-level training. Patrons and administrators in the Hazelwood School District have worked together to vote tax levies and pass bond issues so that a blueprint of curriculum and construction can be a reality..During the past year, the district has grown from the seventh largest school district in St. Louis County to the fifth largest with a total enrollment of 8200 students. Two new elementary schools have been occupied, 19 additional rooms at the Junior High School havelbeen opened, and 30 new teaching stations are being added to the Senior High School. However, the population explosion is not over. lt is expected that 12,000 students will be enrolled in 1963. Future plans already on the drafting board include the building of a new comprehensive senior high school, the cpnversion of the present high school into a second iunior high, and the construc- tion of another elementary school. To carry out such a challenging program, administrators must combine business acumen with educational background. The Hazelwood School District is fortunate to have this kind of professional leadership. l. l I I 'f l if? f ffl .VH I ' .fir XS r I' , ff ' V gg. 4 if 5' . , W 1 .l if to ff I ,alll ,rm-sd , , .3 If if..

HUSS Principal It takes more than bricks, girders, and concrete to make a school. Mr. Huss knows that after the new classrooms have been completed, schedules must be arranged, books and equipment must be selected, and approximately 2000 students and teachers must be guided to keep Hazelwood High's edu- cational wheels turning smoothly. MR. l. L. ZOHNER Assistant Principal With his cafeteria traffic problems somewhat alleviated, Mr. Zohner now devotes even more time to the activity program which is his chief responsibility. U
