DR. WILLIAM C. FRENCH Superintendent of Joliet Township High School and Junior College MR. JOHN H. FRENCH Assistant Superintendent of Joliet Township High School and Junior College , ' f I J ., wx , 7 , .. .1 Dedicated Leaders Administration The administration reports that Joliet Junior College now has over 1200 students and expects continual growth. District 204 is now in the process of expanding the high school facilities and will be reasonably crowded until September of 'I964 when the new buildings are to be opened. This fall the college was forced to turn awoay 200 applicants who lived outside what is termed the commuting area. After 1964 the college will have more space for normal growth. With the removal of two-thirds of the high school stu- dents from the building, more space will be designated for col- lege use. The administration will attempt to locate college facili- ties in a specific area which will be as detached from high school facilities as possible. The library will be enlarged, laboratories will be remodeled, and large lecture sections may be incorporated into the school's program. The cafeteria, lounge, smoker, and offices will also be enlarged. Next year a course in physics for engineering maiors will be set up, as will a course in basic philosophy. Also a new course for the training of women physical education maiors is in the making. Board of Ed ucation The Joliet Township High School and Junior College Board of Education, which is composed of seven members elected from the district, is responsible for the operational procedures and facilities of the school. These include construction and mainte- nance of buildings, purchase of supplies, and employment of per- sonnel. The board adopts a budget, pays bills, selects school sites, okays architects' plans, issues school bonds, and calls for bids. The board has the power to hire and dismiss teachers, sus- pend or expel students, approve salary schedules, determine policies, and promote a school philosophy. It is also the board's responsibility to study and understand what the school is supposed to accomplish, how well the school is filling the students' and community's needs, and what improve- ments and advances are to be made. To this end the board of education and administration have recently been investigating long-range plans for iunior college expansion. This is the second phase of the two phase program which includes expansion of high school facilities and iunior college facilities. ,,., ' ,t 45 y M L.
