The Board of Education oversees the entire operation, Dr. Jack Reed, superintendent, and Dr. Bill White, assistant superintendent, handle the day-to-day business of running a district of this size. Although disappointed by the failure of a bond issue that would have allowed the construction of much needed space, the Board and administration remain confident that the Miami schools will meet the needs of the students of the system.

X' f ' f xt I Y Pursuit of Jobs: Business Business is a world with which most high school students are not very familiar, but the business classes at MHS try to fill that void. Besides learning the keyboard, typing classes focus on letters, invoices and the like, plus research papers. The computers are used to work as word processors or practice spread sheets. Accounting is a popular choice with students, soon, debits and credits take on a new meaning for Wardogs. And business math ac- quaints one with all types of financial information, from check writing to insurance. 26 E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial .

Pursuit of Administration Miami High School has two head Wardogs in the guise of principal Jerry Graham and vice-principal Bob Green. Although most students see them only in the halls supervising class changes, or in their offices handling a disciplinary problem, their jobs entail much more than that. Gftentimes the 3:10 bell means that the day has truly just begun, what with chaperoning dances, watching athletic events, and attending meetings and ceremonies also on the daily agenda. Both Mr. Graham, a 12 - year veteran in the position, and Mr. Green, a relative rookie at 2 years at the MHS job, are positive influences in the lives of MHS students.
