FRANK, MONROE What's doin' at the teachers' barbecue, Chef Monroe? Superintendent Highland Park Schools Monroe Supervises Park Cities' Schools Hi Park students Betsy and Frank Monroe listen as their father explains how the Highland Park school district works. One of Hi Park's most enthusiastic leaders of school spirit is its superintendent, Frank Mon- roe. Always present at pep rallies, athletic com- petitions, and other school functions, he inaug- urated the custom of the victory apples after each gridiron success. Mr. Monroe first taught school in Friona, Texas, and later at Pampa, during which time he took summer post-graduate work at the Univer- sity of Missouri and Colorado State College of Education, Where he was awarded his master's degree. He came to Hi Park as superintendent in 195114 from Midland, where he had been high school principal and then superintendent for thirteen years. During the six years he has served as super- intendent of the Highland Park Independent School District, programs of building expansion and improvement of teachers' salaries have been carried out. Mr. Monroe is outstanding among the superintendents of Texas in that he has held the office of president of the Texas Association of School Administrators. Directly under Mr. Monroe are the business manager, director of instruction, director of ath- letics, and the principals of all the schools in the district. Along with these people and the mem- bers of the school board he always strives to improve and promote progress for Highland Park High School.

BEN W. WISEMAN Principal Highland Park High School Principal Guides During the thirty-one years Ben W. Wiseman has headed the staff of Highland Park High School, many improvements have been made through his efforts. He emphasizes the importance of good scholastic background and standing by the use of reading ma- chines, individual conferences with teachers, and special help for the student who is not fulfilling his learning capacity to the best of his ability. He also has a hand in the extensive testino' roffram given to the Scots. The neatly kept yard and artful landscaping of the school grounds result from lVlr. Wisemanis belief that a school should be attractive as well as functional. lVlr. Wiseman is also responsible for the introduction of the Student Council, Key Club, and departmental divisions. Many other constructive ideas that have be- come tradition at Hi Park may also be attributed to Mr. Wiseman. ap D Mr. Wiseman temporarily forgets his busy schedule as princi- pal at the teachers' barbecue.
