Board Makes Plans For New Wing At the head of the list of priorities at the Board of Education, this year, was the implementation of plans for the new wing to be added to the High School. The plans for the addition, which will house the future cafeteria, science and industrial arts areas, were developed under the close supervision of Superintendent Milton Hughes and altered to coincide with the financial reality of the city budget. The bulk of the money for the project, however, has come from the state through the Emergency School Construction Aid Act The target date for the initial breaking of ground should take place prior to the new school year. Mr. Hughes has, in the last four years, been involved in two major areas of school construction: The Amerigo A. Anastasia School and the new High School wing. Through the efforts of the Superintendent and the Board, in excess of $2.6 million has been secured from State agencies which helped to minimize the effect of rising operating expenses on local citizens. To stimulate efficiency, the Board organized itself into various committees including Building and Grounds, Curriculum, Public Relations, and Board and Student Liaison. In additon, the Board of Education supported such curriculum innovations as the Quinmester, the Prescriptive learning Pro gram, and Bilingual Education Program.

After twenty years of dedicated service to Long Branch High School as teacher, coach, and principal, Mr. John Dugan left the school system to accept a position as Superintendent of Schools of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional School District. During his administration, such curriculum innovations as the Quinmester were instituted in the High School. As an educator, Mr. Dugan has been dedicated to the notion that school is for the youngsters — that their growth and necessities — intellectual, moral, and physical — come first among priorities. The High School thanks him for his service and wishes him luck in his endeavors.
