Riverheads faculty members as well as all staff personnel have recognized the ephemerality of youth and all the potential vested in that ephemerality. Thus, under the auspices of the Virginia Stale Board of Education and in conjunction with the Au¬ gusta County School Board, the Riverheads administration endeavors to channel the energy and develop the potential of its stu¬ dents whether they are college or vocation bound into progressive straits. For instance, the guidance department spends hours with individual students, as¬ sisting them in planning their courses, choosing their colleges, or meeting the re¬ quirements for their chosen vocations. Like¬ wise, Mr. Good, assistant principal, coor¬ dinates athletic events and supervises bus transportation to and from school. Mr. Layman, principal, bears the brunt of all administrative duties, but with the aid of Mrs. Taylor, school secretary and several student assistants, he finds his work load less time-consuming and has more time to spend with various classroom groups. Beside these forms of aid, the janitorial staff and the cafeterial staff fulfill the more basic student needs; they provide physical nourishment and a healthful atmosphere conducive to learning. And finally, the school bookstore facilitates the students’ acquisition of study materials. Thus while the students must exert no¬ ticeable efforts to succeed in school, all ad¬ ministrative officials support them whole¬ heartedly and strive to make their learning an enjoyable as well as enriching labor.

Empowered to maintain a stable yet ever¬ growing school system in Augusta County is the Augusta County School Board com¬ posed of: S. F. McClure, Jr., chairman, Riverhead District; Dr. 0. L. Boyd, vice- chairman, South River District; J. C. Horn, North River District; W. W. Ashby, Pas¬ ture District; Conrad Lawrence, Beverly Manor District; and Harold W. Roller, Middle River District. The progress of this board can be read¬ ily recognized in the beauty and success of the county’s four new high schools and in the improvements being executed in the existing older schools. While school board members are far re¬ moved from students, they make all plans after considering the needs and desires of Augusta County students as is evidenced by the board’s hiring of competent teach¬ ers. Thus while administrative duties large¬ ly occupy the board’s time, members main¬ tain a liaison with students through tours of the schools and information acquired from principals and teachers. Administrators Foresee Mr. Sam F. McClure, Jr., Mr. W. W. Ashby, Mr. J. C. Horn, Mr. Conrad Lawrence, school board members, and Mr. Hugh K.
