Time-Study Experts Set Up Calendars and Schedules Completing his fifth year as principal, Royce C. Kurtz has repeatedly demonstrated evidences of his efficient administration. Mr. Kurtz came to us as a junior high history teacher and junior high basketball coach. He served as assistant principal before he ac¬ cepted his present post. This has been Mr. Kurtz’s busiest year due to enlarged enroll¬ ments and severely crowded conditions, along with the usual difficulty in curriculum plan¬ ning and individual schedule changes. Glenn M. Curtis is the guiding light of three grade schools and one high school. Mr. Curtis succeeded Floyd Hines three years ago. Although this was his first service as superin¬ tendent of schools, Mr. Curtis has always been, well known around Martinsville for both his capable coaching, which brought us three state basketball championships, and his active job of principal for several years. As superin¬ tendent Mr. Curtis prepares the budget and recommends policy for the school board. Martinsville’s School Board is composed of three individuals prom¬ inent in local civic affairs chosen by the City Coun¬ cil. The board is respon¬ sible for supervision of the policies and business, of the city schools. This year as last the board has. had to face the problem of crowded school condi¬ tions. The three members are Warren Schnaiter, treasurer; Merrill Wilson, secretary, and Eugene Barnard, president.
