Our School Principal Mr . Robert Miller has played an important part in the ac¬ tivities of Sturgis High School for the past thirty-three years, first as a teacher and coach and for the last fifteen years as our principal. The hours he spends in guiding and advising the students at our high school takes much of his time. Mr. Miller also spends a lot of time helping with school activities. Another service that Mr. Miller performs for the school, which is appreciated by all students and faculty members, is the making of announcements about the school and school ac¬ tivities over the public address system. This year Mr. Miller’s duties have been greatly increased with the occupation of the new high school. As is natural in a new situation, new problems have arisen; however, Mr. Mil¬ ler has met and dealt with these wisely making the first year in our new high school an enjoyable and profitable one. The class of 1963 wishes to express its thanks to Mr. Robert Miller, a man who has made our high school years worthwhile, happy, and memo¬ rable. Robert M. Miller

Superintendent of Schools Mr. Warren J. Fudge, super¬ intendent of schools, heads the administrative branch of the Sturgis Public School system and works in cooperation with the Board of Education. Dur¬ ing the six years he has been in Sturgis, Mr. Fudge has be¬ come a well known and much admired person at Sturgis High School. However, Mr. Fudge’s duties are far broader than just the high school, for he also is in charge of the Junior High School and all the grade schools. As you can see he is a very busy man, devoting much of his time to the educa¬ tion of youth. This past year Mr. Fudge’s duties have been even further increased with the building of the new high school. Mr. Fudge has worked diligently in making this undertaking the success it has turned out to be. We wish to thank Mr. Fudge for all he has done in securing the opportunities offered to us in this new school and for the fine job he does as superin¬ tendent of the Sturgis Public Schools. Warren J. Fudge 5

A day in the life of our Director of Secondary Education, Mr. Tyler, is indeed overflowing with activities and problems. He is in charge of work¬ ing with new teachers, faculty conferences, organi¬ zation of curriculum and audio visual aids. He also works with the students on Student Council and other student groups. In other words, any curricula or other ac¬ tivities concerned with education are under his careful surveillance. Together with Miss Schrump, they try to es¬ tablish a definite un ity between grade school and secondary education so there are no gaps from one to the other. Being the Director of Secondary Education is definitely a responsible position and is filled by a very qualified man. As the Director of Elementary Education, Miss Schrump, is in charge of consulting new teachers, planning faculty conferences, organization of cur¬ riculum, audio visual aids, and selection of com¬ mittees for study of textbooks. She also sends for samples of materials, and works with the committee members during the study. One of her biggest jobs is the planning of parent conferences for those who are going to enroll their children in Kindergarten the following fall. In the spring she arranges for senior students who are interested in teaching to help in classrooms for a six week period. Her schedule is very time consuming but she loves her work and does an excellent job. MR. TYLER MISS SCHRUMP 7
