SCHOOL BOARD Working jointly with Superintendent Burt as well as with other school officials and the communi- ty to make our school the best are the members of the Board of Education: Mrs. Ruth Mary Friend, Robert Jack, and Elmer Seagly. LORIN A. BURT Our superintendent, Dr. Lorin Burt, is ex- periencing his second year with the Kendall- ville Public Schools. During this short time, he has directed the task of our remodeling and building program. This job is still not finished, as plans are being made for addi- tional remodeling. Dr. Burt has been an active figure on the Noble County school reorganization commit- tee, which hopes through analysis of existing conditions, to recommend a reorganization of Noble County schools into more efficient and effective units. THE ADMINISTRATION: Always Working To Improve Our School Kendallville students owe much to our ad- ministration, for it is through their efforts that our school is accredited by Indiana as a first class commissioned high school. The administration has capably completed the project of remodeling the Sheridan Street gymnasium into three departmental areas and a boys ' gym-lunchroom combination, thus making the long-awaited cafeteria a reality. The industrial arts department includes a drawing room and metal and woodworking shops while the agriculture department has a farm shop adjoining its classroom. The band benefitted from the remodeling by gaining a larger room plus individual practice rooms. 10
