Dr. Hoops New Superintendent Starts Work This year a new man stepped into the difficult and demanding job of superintendent of schools. Dr. Robert C. Hoops was our import from New Mil- ford, N. J. With him he brought the interest and ambition for the system that has impressed the entire town. The new superintendent received his bachelor's degree from New York State University, his mas- ter's degree from Columbia University, and his doctorate from Rutger University. In the future Dr. Hoops hopes to establish “more differentiated programs for college and non-college bound students. His great pride in individual devel- opment and his concern for the growth of education will prove to be a tremendous asset. NEW MAN ON THE JOB Dr. Robert C. Hoops. COMMUNITY RELATIONS ... I)r.

Donald Devine, Henry A. Steven- son, Jr., Charles Raynor, James Ilch, and Dr. Herman O. Wiley. Maintaining the quality of a school system is a massive task, but Red Bank’s Board of Education has made every effort not only to maintain but to improve. Board members, elected every three years, offer their services to the community to help provide superior education. They supervise preparation of a budget, hiring of teachers, and formulation of school policy. In the past year the Board has sought solutions to the need for building new schools, for adjusting de facto racial imbalance in the elementary division, and for providing better educational programs. The community owes a great debt to the hard work of these men. 12

Principal Royal Hintze Solving the countless problems that arise in keeping a high school running properly is a com- plicated task, but Principal Royal H. Hintze handles it smoothly and efficiently. During the nearly a decade of his association with Red Bank, Mr. Hintze has strived to main- tain and improve the academic and extra-cur- ricular program of the high school. He has taken particular interest in student government. Many long hours spent with the problems committee of the Student Council testify to this. Indeed, any student can always be assured that Mr. Hintze will find a moment to discuss his con- cerns. Mr. Hintze’s experience in education has been both as teacher and as administrator. Before coming to Red Bank he was associated with school systems in Pennsylvania, Washington, D. C., and New Jersey. He earned a B.S. from Shippensburg State Teacher’s College and an M.A. in education from George Washington Uni- versity. He has also received graduate instruc- tion at Pennsylvania State University, Temple University, and New York University. 14
