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. Cassell, Superintendent of Augusta County Schools, accompanied by Mr. J. M. Moore and Mr. W. A. Brooks, Augusta County Supervisors, initiate their tour of Augusta County High Schools at Wilson Memorial High School.
