MAINE, Virginia, Kansas. Principal Horace Croxford of Augusta's Cony High greets Mr. Weaver at the 19th Bellamy Award as Miss Margarette S. Miller looks on. Hzglz School Directors Responsive To Needs of Students COMPETENT and abreast of the times, Troy's six- man administrative staff worked diligently to pre- sent both the gaining of knowledge and the adjust- ment to widening horizons as exciting challenges to a large and varied student body. They worked on the humanistic theory that each individual presents a new frontier that must be explored and con- quered just as our forefathers viewed the often un- fathomable West. 1960-61 presented a tremendous problem of enroll- ment and curriculum planning because the organi- zation of the new Topeka West High directly af- fected about 400 members of Troy's student body and influenced plans for the regular 1961-62 schedules in both schools. As Coordinator Extraordinnaireu, Principal Weaver held the reins of academic and guidance fields, scholarship preparation and awards, and the necessary contacts of investigation and discipline that are all a part of the life of a large and progres- sive school. With his confreres he constantly kept in mind the great responsibility of good public rela- tions so necessary in this day when democracy and education are on trial all over the world.

Faculgf Patience, Enfhusiasms Develop Needed 'Push' NO JOB TOO BIG-no result too impossible. This was the challenge that was met by Troy's l00-mem- ber faculty every hour of every day of every week of the 1960-61 school year. The all-over picture of their dedication to what they believed in-gaining of knowledge by motivation for learning-was some- times a dreary one, sometimes a bright one, depend- ing on the response of those in their classes. Often their efforts crashed against .the stone wall of teenage unconcern. At other times the onrush of intellectual curiosity carried them along in as eager anticipation as that shown by their students. In addition to the duties of teaching subject mat- ter, faculty members enjoyed family responsibilities and participated in church and community interests. They crowded into their busy lives advanced courses to complete higher degreesg and they took time out for travel, relaxation, and hobbies. AS MAINE 'WENT, so went the Bellamy-ites. Pep Clubbers gave Mrs. Greer, Miss Miller, and Mr. and Mrs. Weaver a noisy sendoff to Cony High's 19th Annual Bellamy Award ceremonies. f 1 4 XWW ggi 'ver I' f fb. he A ir. WILEY E.
