PROGRESS THROUGH EFFICIENCY Serving his first year as Superintendent of the Rome Public School System, Walter M. Lowerre is already demonstrating progressive leadership in guiding Rome’s educational program. One of his major goals is to offer the children of this community not only a program of education which is current with the times and vital to their social growth, but also one which is geared to the children’s indi- vidual needs. Mr. Lowerre has come to this posi- tion after having served with distinction in the fields of teaching and administration in this same school system The Board of Education, an elected group of officials, aid Mr. Lowerre in the program of edu- cation by establishing the broad policies under which our school system functions. Directing the Board is Mr. Nicholas J. Bush. Other members of the staff include: Robert C. Bidwell, Russ P. Des- tito, Miss E. Louise Kingsley, George Waters, Donald W. Fulton, C. Eugene Roe, John R. Woods, and newly elected Robert Griffin. We are certainly appreciative of the dedicated services rendered by these fine people Walter M.
