Under the direction of Mr. Perdue, President, these eight adults sought to provide the more than five thou- sand students who attend elementary and secondary schools in Port with the best ed- ucation possible. Their duties included de- termining the course of study to be fol- lowed, the kind of buildings to be construct- ed, and the number and salary of teachers and administrators.

Mr. Hendrickson Leaves Behind A Capable A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ENGLISH CURRICULUM IS CARRIED ON AMONG MR. COULOMBE, MR. HENDRICKSON, AND MR. MOCK MR HENDRICKSON DIRECTS A LOST PARENT AT OPEN HOUSE More than any other person, Mr Hendrickson shaped the policy and program of Schreiber. This dedicated principal's main aim was to coordinate activities so that every student could make the most of his ability. To accomplish this, he directed guidance activities, determined the use of funds, and was responsible for public relations. He also aided in problems of student behavior, supervised clerical work, and kept abreast of all school affairs by periodically holding conferences with students, teachers, and department heads Farewell Message From Mr. Hendrickson The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do. In the years ahead, I shall look back over the thirty-three years I have spent as a teacher with a deep sense of satisfaction, because I am proud to be a member of my profession. Charles Dickens wrote, It is well for a man to respect his own vocation whatever it is, and to think himself bound to uphold it, and to claim for it the respect it deserves. This na- tion is in need of teachers, and as I move on to a different life I would like to encourage more of our very able men and women who attend Schreiber High School to help fill the ranks of the greatest of all professions— teaching Clifford F Hendrickson 20
