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

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

A friend to all Sturgis High School students is Mr. Miller’s secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Freeland. She can always be found in the principal’s office writ¬ ing absence and tardy slips, advising students, preparing announcement sheets, or running er¬ rands. Our high school certainly would not function as smoothly were it not for Mrs. Freeland. MRS. DOROTHY FREELAND FIRST ROW, Left to Right: Mrs. John Quirin, Mrs. Charles King. SECOND ROW, Left to Right: Mrs. Miles Kirkpatrick, and Miss Barbara Lutz. In the superintendent’s of¬ fice, we find four ladies who are very beneficial to our school system. These are: Mrs. Quirin, who is Mr. Fudge’s secretary and who puts out the payroll; Mrs. Kirkpatrick, who is secretary to both Miss Schrump and Mr. Tyler; Mrs. King, who is the receptionist and who handles the extracur¬ ricular accounts; and Miss Lutz, who is the bookkeeper for the Board of Education and who handles the purchas¬ ing. We certainly owe these ladies a vote of gratitude. 8
