McBride, superintendent of Norwalk City Schools, and the di- rection of the Board of Education, advances were made in the educational program of the high school. The bond issue was passed, new courses of studies outlined, and equipment including tape recorders and movie projectors purchased. After the school bond issue was defeated twice, the Board of Education, administration, teachers, students, civic groups, and interested townspeople combined forces in a major effort. With the passing of the bond issue, the Board made plans for needed repairs to the elementary schools and for a new junior high building and an interscholastic gymnasium. Two new members were elected to the Board in November: Dr. William B. Holman and Mr. Ray- mond G. Chapin. Mr. E. J. Gerken, who was re-elected, was named president of the new Board.
