SUPERINTENDENT, SCHOOL BOARD FACE MANY PROBLEMS Superintendent, Mr. Hubert A. Armstrong, and the District 41 school board finds themselves facing many problems. Myrtle Point’s school board, consisting of seven members plus a clerk, must tackle the job of providing the district with an efficient school system. They realize that a good public school system must have proper facilities and be co-ordinated with other schools throughout the area. Even before the school year begins, these dedicated people must select qualified personnel, propose a budget, and be sure of properly functioning transportation facilities. A good district superintendent must have keen foresight into the growing demands of a rapidly expanding school system. Superintendent Armstrong has shown us that he has this quality by solving the many problems which are put before him with the speed and efficiency of a truly capable leader. After the start of the school year, the board is confronted with many varied and perplexing problems. This year, for instance, the board was faced with the condemnation of the grandstands and the possibility of expanding the physical facilities. Hubert Armstrong, District Superintendent MYRTLE POINT'S school board is discussing plans for newbuildings, grandstands, and various other financial problems. Seated are Mr. Bob Thompson, Mr. John Kirk, chairman; and Mrs. Paula Cook, clerk. Standing are Mr. Ralph Whitaker, Mr. Howard Winkleman; Mr. Bob Fowrie; Mr. Melden Carl; and Mr. Hollis Mast. £
