It's not just the sophomores who come the first day not knowing their way around. There are other New faces at school. ach year we welcome a special group of peo- ple. Some have moved from as far away as Iowa or Pennsylvania, while others simply made a trip across town. They are our new teachers and administrators. This year is particularly no- table, because with retire- ment of Dr. LG. McCracken, District Seven welcomed a new Superintendent, Dr. Harold Patterson. Dr. Patter- son is .from Sumter S.C., where he was also district su- perintendent. He calls Dis- trict Seven a fine school system and admires the depth of curriculum and student performance. He cites previous interest in the district as a deciding factor in his choice to come here, and once he settled in he found that it was obvious that a lot of good things have gone on a long time. Patter- son is faced with the tough problem of finding solutions to a S616,000 cut in the bud- get, which affects some classes, and the purchase of new equipment. Other new faculty mem- bers came from out of state, other districts, and other District Seven schools. Mrs. Susan Pribilsky, Home Arts, and Mr. Thomas Wine, cho- rus, are beginning their teaching careers. Dr. ludy Bazemore, English, and Mr. Arthur Brewton, resource, joined us from Cleveland and Madden Elementaries. Mrs. Susan Bennet, who teaches French at Carver, had two classes of English as a Foreign Language for our Laotian students. Mr. Tim Remaley joined the Social Studies and coaching staffs from Byrnes High School. Coming from lrmo Middle School and Ce- dar Rapids, lowa Roosevelt junior High were Mrs. Kathy Kinard, math, and Mr. Paul Buyer, concert orchestra.
