Emerich, now employed in Highland Park, Michigan.

Mr. William Millman has joined the Board to become its newest member, replacing Richard Shrader. Mr. Robert Seeds now holds the office of President of the Board. The referendum has put the Board on an economy basis, but despite this changes have taken place in the school system. One was the opening of the new Jefferson Elementary School on November 13, while the old building was turned over to the state for demolition because of construction of the highway, 1-74. Two buildings are now under construction, one to re- place the Ericsson building and one at the Lincoln School site, to replace both Lincoln and Irving Elementary Schools. Still another building change is the addition to Jane Addams. Melvin V.

Dr. Sapone, New Principal, Initiates Changes in Policy Changes can be found at MHS this year as Dr. Carmelo Sapone arrived as our new principal. Coming to us from his former job as Assistant Principal at Hinsdale High School, Dr. Sapone has had 17 years of teaching experience on both the high school and college levels. His degrees include a B.S. in Social Studies and English, and an M.S. and Ed. D. in curriculum and administration. One of his major educational achievements since his arrival is a new internal organization including representatives of the administration, teachers, and students. Another innovation was the creation of a new position, Dean of Students, held by Bill Best, whose duties include the handling of discipline and other related problems. This gives the counselors more time with studies and the development of a Title V Program, Guidance Instruction Materials Center. The Student Advisory Cabinet was another advancement made, to deal directly with student pro- blems, such as the dress code and pep assemblies. Dr. Sapone is planning for MHS ' s future. His improvements include more individualization for students, such as independent study, team teaching, small group seminars, a resource labora- tory, and an instructional material center. Dr. Carmelo V. Sapone Principal Jay Schaff Albert Stevens Assistant Principal Administrative Assistant The secretaries are: SEATED: Betty Olson, Evelyn Engstrom, Helen Geddling. STANDING: Olive Haydon, Verna Smarsty, Dorothy Bjurstrom, Marguerite Ross, Phyllis Myers, Lucille Kendall, Esther Erickson. 12
