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?

ln Last Administrative Year After 18 years in the Montgomery County system, Mr. William Bennett will be retiring from thirty-five years as a school man. Thirteen years as an administrator in charge of discipline have convinced him of the immutability of human nature, but he cites increasing permissive- ness of parents and cars as primary causes of student problems. Respected by students for his hon- esty with them and loved by teachers for his humor and fairness, Mr. B. will be concluding his service with the fond appreciation of all person- nel here. Working with Mr. Bennett this year were two new assistant prin- cipals: Mr. Ray Patton, a former counselor, and Dr. Howard Graves, new to the county. Mr. Allen Swick, in his second year as administrative assistant, took over details of build- ing and office management. With each counselor a Mecca in a desert of bewilderment, the Guidance Department underwent reorganiza- tion, each counselor assumed respon- sibility for an alphabetical section of each class instead of for an en- tire class. This shift resulted in a more even distribution of the Work load, including the administration of tests. To insulate from distraction, a partition rose in the main office be- hind which secretaries could turn out in peace a flood of PTA ques- tionnaires and forms.
