.T N ,i The key to life-education, the key to education-administration. Devoted leaders, working effectively together, formed a strong foundation on which to operate a school. Dedicating their thoughts and energy to enriching the minds and standards of their subordinates, they employed a lifetime of knowledge plus new techniques. While supervising the progression of SM South, hiring highly qualified employees, teaching the complexities of chemistry, counseling on schedules and colleges, locating hidden library books, maintaining an attractive building, sacrificing after-school hours to extra-curricular activities, establishing the three-way link of parents, teachers, and students, soothing headache-plagued patients, painstakingly grading innumerable tests and research papers, and presenting white graduation diplomas, these loyal administrators fulhllled their own jobs to the betterment of the entire education system.

Dr. Howard D. McEachen Superintendent of Schools Administrators Use Modern Techniques Always Working to widen the scope of study and increase the opportunities for SMN students, the district administra- tion,with its widely acclaimed excellence, succeeded in serving the area. The in- creasing problem of over-crowded condi- tions prompted the building of a ninth junior high school and the continuation of the building of SM South. However, this new burden did not keep these ad- ministrators from capably controlling the present three high schools and eight junior high schools. The superintendent and an experienced administrative staff worked together to provide the leader- ship and guidance that kept the SM dis- trict among the best in the nation. SCHOOL BOARD.
