Various Duties Divided Among Principals One often wonders how the six principals at SHS can keep the school running so smoothly. If they were unassigned to particular duties, the school would be a chaos. Each principal is concerned with his area. Should a problem arise, each principal works within his assignment to alleviate the obstacle. Principal Max Robbins oversees every facet of school life. He is assisted by five persons in the areas of athletics, activities, academics, finances, and discipline Mr. Edward Barksdale, the administrative assistant, oversees discipline problems and homebound instruction. He also serves in the absence of the principal. Student affairs, which includes the thirty organizations and clubs, are handled by Mr. Wallace Dean. He also organizes the Daily Bulletin, the Junior-Senior, and graduation exercises. Mr. Edward Bost works with twelfth graders He also handles teacher absences and fills them with substitutes. Textbooks are also one of his responsibilities. Maintaining the building is the duty of Mr Bob Gettys. This job also includes taking care of the cafeteria and custodial help. Mr Gettys works with tenth graders too. The eleventh grade is a concern of Mr. Roy Henderson. He also takes inventories of the book room and supervises the cafeteria. Backing the six-man team at SHS are Dr. J. G. McCracken. Superintendent, and the Board of Trustees. This group has shown much concern over the progress of schools in District 7 and is readily available when the Board can assist the school. t 2 3 1 Dr J G McCracken Superintendent 2 Mr Max Robbins Principal 3 Board of Trustees and District 7 County Board Members Front: Harry Phillips Dr George Graham Miles Whitloc Standing: Mrs Joab Lesesne Chet Stephens Dr William Hendrix W S Jones.

Southern Association Evaluates SHS In February eighteen representatives from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools spent three days at Spartanburg High School. The Association evaluates each member school every ten years. Spartanburg High School has enjoyed continuous accreditation by this organization since 1919. The Spartanburg High School philosophy committee was the first of several committees to be organized. Its assign- ment was to write a philosophy for the school, which was reviewed by the entire staff. A committee was then appointed in each department to evaluate the work of the department in terms of the philosophy of the school. The entire staff worked one and one-half years in preparation for the committee's visit. The overall evaluation included not only administrative and teaching staffs and the academic program but also such areas as school facilities, guidance services, student activities, and educational media services. The visiting team examined the reports of the various committees. Classrooms and activity centers were also visited to determine if Spartanburg High School had correctly rated its successes and failures in terms of its philosophy. A report of the committee's visit is sent to the school following the evaluation. 1 The SHS faculty awaits the introduction of the Southern Association committee 16 Faculty Academics
