mm m ii nMUm Men Provide the Foundation itfton As SHS students present their proposed dress code, Principal Charles E. Haase listens in- tently at the parent-faculty-student dress code meeting in the library. Superior High School— a complex system designed to provide the best possible education for the 280 stu- dents who daily fill its halls. It ' s a complicated system and it takes a number of men to keep it running smoothly. Eight men provide the foun- dation for the functioning of the sys- tem, and these men were asked what they thought high school should pro- vide for the students. Mr. Charles E. Haase, principal, whose role is that of a chief adminis- trator, provides general supervision of the teachers and pupils and controls the organization of the curriculum and the over-all school program. Mr. Haase feels that high school should provide a general education in all basic academic fields, as well as a degree of readiness to enter the vocational field of one ' s choice. Mr. Dale D. Mooberry, superinten- dent, implements the policies of the Board of Education and serves in a liaison capacity between the board and the students, other administrators, faculty, and the community. Students should get two things out of their four years in high school, according to Mr. Mooberry. First and foremost, they should get the best education possible according to their educational opportunities and their own applica- tion to their studies; and secondly, they should get some preparation, both educationally and socially, for the world they will enter upon graduation. The Superior Board of Education, whose purpose is to provide an edu- cation suitable for the community, also acts as an advisory council to assist the teachers, pupils and parents, and acts on the financial matters of the school. Mr. Leslie Alexander, a member of the board, also believes that students leaving high school should have prepared themselves for either higher education or a place in society. Engaged in one of his daily jobs, Mr. Haase fills out admit slips. Superintendent Dale D. Mooberry laughs at a comment made by one of the School Board mem- bers, just before the monthly board meeting gets underway. 11

Specialists Stress Communication Communication is essential in to- day ' s world, stated Mr. Al Klass- meyer, speech therapist, who, along with Mrs. Bernice Hansen, special reading teacher and Mr. Gerald Woo- ters, guidance counselor, said that helping students to communicate is an important purpose of each of their jobs. Today, kids can ' t get by with isolating the mselves, because they are always in contact with others. Every- one has to use speech every day, declared Mr. Klassmeyer, who worked with high school, junior high and grade school students. He said he en- joyed his work because he likes young people and finds that helping them correct their speech problems and seeing the results, no matter how small is very worthwhile. According to Mrs. Hansen, It is necessary for todays student to read with the greatest proficiency possible, whether he is college bound or not. Mrs. Hansen tries to diagnose the reading problem of a student, and then help him to improve his reading ability, learning and application of skills. Like Mr. Klassmeyer, she spent much of her time working with junior high students. As guidance counselor, Mr. Woo- ters identified his main purpose as helping students understand their po- tentials and work toward fulfilling them. He also tries to help them ad- just to school and develop skills for dealing more successful with the problems they will encounter upon leaving high school. In order to help students, counseling has to be a coop- erative effort of all my colleagues, the parents and the students, Mr. Woo- ters added. It ' s always important to remember what you read, explains Mrs. Bernice Hansen, special reading, to Dave Dillon. 4 Speech therapist, Mr. Al Klassmeyer, finds amusement In a play during the SHS fresh- man basketball game against Blue Hill. 12
