MHS Cn Parade 66 l EVALUATORS ARE COMINGVQ was the cry of every Sting- aree on November 18th, when our school, first to be evalu- ated at the beginning of this state-wide program in 1931, became the last Florida school to be rated in the current series. On the 1951 E-Day , fifty top educators, selected by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Col- leges, visited MHS to observe the student body, faculty, school plant, program of studies and extra-curricular ac- tivities, and every other phase of school life. Preparation for the visitors had begun the previous fall as faculty committees prepared a self-analysis to be dis- cussed and criticized by the evaluators. After the scramble of preparation, the three day visit proved a pleasant experience, beginning on Sunday night with a banquet in the school cafeteria. During their visit evaluators visited classes, interviewed students, observed the attitude and spirit of the school, and gave suggestions. On Wednesday the evaluators praised Miami High as a superior school and student body as friendly, democratic, and cooperative. CLoCKw1sE: Dr. Robert Leigh of Florida State University visits a class.
