Services Expanded Most far-reaching of the Board's accomplish- ments for the year, reported Superintendent James H. McBride, was the completion, in co- operation with Ohio State University's Bureau of Educational Research, of a building needs sur- vey. From the completed survey will grow the program of building that will determine the pat- tern of Norwalk's physical facilities for years to come. The provision of a building for the exclu- sive use of the junior high school will mark a dis- tinctive departure from the present organization. This year members of the Board of Education were Dr. George Linn, presidentg Dr. Robert Schillig, vice-presidentg Mr. Paul Wetzel, Mr. Ed- ward Gerken, and Mr. Dale Olsen, who joined the Board following the resignation of Mr. Ernest Kohlmyer. Supervision of Norwalk's five elementary schools and one secondary school took much of Mr. McBride's time, besides his work with the Board of Education. As enrollment increased, Superintendent Mc- Bride and the Board of Education found it neces- sary to add to the services which the school of- fered to its students.
