Mr. WAYNE CRAWFORD Assistant Superintendent and Business Manager Mr. FRED Mr-DAVID Superintendent Our very capable administration staff has certainly helped all of the RICHWOODS’ KNIGHTS to have a more successful and eventful year, both in activities and in academic work. Last year, because of our fine superin- tendent. MR. FRED C. McDAVID, and our other three administrators’ great desire to make Rich woods a rep- utable school, they set the high scholastic standards that we have at our school. With the fine thinking and coop- eration of the Community, Board of Education, the ad- ministrative staff, the faculty, and everyone else who as- sisted in making Richwoods Community High a superior school, R.C.H.S. was accepted as an accredited school by the North Central Association and the Illinois State Department of Public Instruction. An accreditation the first year of any new school is a rarity. We consider this an honor to have been accepted so soon. MR. WAYNE CRAWFORD, Business Manager and As- sistant Superintendent, has aided Mr. McDavid with many important business matters. He has supervised the cafeteria program, bus transportation, maintenance, and the purchasing of all the equipment for the school. His coojx-ration with our superintendent can be seen through- out our two profitable years. MR. RICHARD ERZEN, Administrative Assistant, Dean of Boys, and Director of Guidance, and MISS HELEN CURRAN, Dean of Girls, have counselled us with all of our problems. Their leadership, patience and understanding have guided us through all of our difficulties during the past two years. We owe so much to our excellent administrative staff and want to thank them for their help in making us better stu- dents and KNIGHTS today, as well as citizens of to- morrow. Mr. RICHARD ERZEN Dean of Boy and Miss HELEN CURRAN Administration Assistant Dean of Girls
