Dr. Marvin Evans was chosen for the superintend- ent's post over more than 60 other applicants from across the nation. He received his bachelor of science degree from Lewis and Clark College and his master's degree and doctorate in education from the University of Oregon. After serving as assistant superintendent of the David Douglas School District, Dr. Evans was named superintendent of the Albany High School District in 1971, where he remained until coming to Lake Oswego. lt took Dr. Evans no time at all to establish a harmon- ious rapport with members of the school board, the administrative staff, principals and teachers inthe dis- trict. Probably his most awesome task of the year was completion of a long-range growth study report which outlines planning for future growth in the district's schools over the next five years and at saturation. He also compiled a list of long-neglected maintenance needs for individual schools. Because of these studies, the school board accepted the report and will call for an election in September for voter approval of construction of two new elementary schools and for approximately S1 million for repairs 1 - LOJHS Principal Dale Rey- nolds listens and LO Principal Tom Lindersmith takes notes during a board meeting. 2 - New superin- tendent Dr. Marvin L.

It could also receive new acoustical floor covering for the library, a new driveway and parking area and additional shelving and storage space for audio-visual equipment. The board, under the leadership of the first chair- woman in its history, Nancy Klinger, also ratified its first multi-year salary contract with teachers and clas- sified personnel. Further, it was successful in obtain- ing voter approval on the first try for the 1978-79 school district operating levy. I , ln addition, the board held its first joint meeting with the Lake Oswego City Council, where the two bodies agreed to mutual acquisitions of athletic fields and open spaces on school sites in the future. Board members say their most traumatic decision of the year was to close Lakewood School. After exhaus- tive studies of the school, the board determined that to bring the building up to standard would be tremen- dously costly and that its decision to close it came after many hours of soul searching. The school board is a dedicated group of volunteers, and Lake Oswego High School would like to say, Thank you for a job well done. 1 .
