l Analyz s Administrative Policy WJ Principal Henry C. Gregory worked for his school outside as well as in. Added to the traditional duties of administration, faculty selection, and supervision, he exchanged ideas through county, state, and national associations with heads of other schools to improve school programs. A committee of principals acted in an advisory capacity for the School Board which accepted, for example, a recommendation on the selection of students for National Honor So- ciety. Mr. Gregory's outside activi- ties included speaking at the Na- i tional Principals Association and the National Association of School Ad- ministrators in February on such i topics as staff morale and commun- icating with parents on student progress. 4 Mr' Henry C' Gregory: Principal?

Economy Pledged School Board After a hotly contested Novem- ber election, four new members took their places on the seven man Mont- gomery County School Board. The Board scrutinized educational pol- iciesg then, fundamentals in mind, they looked with an evaluative eye at the policies currently in practice. Among their first actions were the abolition of compulsory showers for girls in physical education and an investigation of plans for a second campus for Montgomery Junior Col- lege in Rockville. Working without compensation, the Board was faced with the gigantic task of financing and setting policy for a school system which has grown from 27,772 stu- dents in 1950 to about 92,340 now. Mr. William Hinga, Dr. Howard Graves, Dr. George Kirk, Area Director, and Dr. Kenneth Rollins, Director of Guidance meet here to counsel on guidance. Insert: Dr. C.
