Shaping School Policies, Regulating Academic Serving the Warren Township school system are Mr. Austin E. Walker, Superintendent of the Metropolitan School District of Warren Town- ship, Assistant Superintendent Mr. Edward H. Cuddy, and members of the School Board. These work diligently to prepare for each school year, and to handle all problems arising during the year. After a brief, but relaxing, summer vacation, this administrative body settles into a work routine that demands their best at all times. Major problems are discussed and decisions made which seemingly benefit everyone con- cerned. The arrival of fall signifies a return to school for students, but to the administration it brings more problems and more worries which must be overcome. This small group of men must determine the approximate enrollment for all elementary schools, the junior high schools Creston and Woodview, and Warren Central. Acting upon this knowledge, the School Board decides upon the number of teachers needed, and how many desks will be placed in each room. Another problem they face is bus pro- curement and bus scheduling. Not only are buses on a continual time clock delivering stu- dents to different schools at different times, but the board must also present them with a map of their routes so the drivers can pick up every student, yet not exceeding the number of pupils that the law permits. New classes also present a special task to the administration. A philosophy class origi- nated this year, so new textbooks were re- quired. A certain number of regular class texts were also beyond use, so to provide each stu- dent with his required book, the Board ordered new ones for each academic course offered. One major issue presented the Board was the problem of the dress code. Continuing basical- ly with last year ' s decision, a revision was made which permitted all girls to wear dress slacks or pantsuits without written permission, how- ever, no compromise was reached concerning beards and sideburn length. A protest by the students after the County Tourney was also ably handled by the administration. Service to the community was the primary goal for the administration, and experience has shown this practice to be the deciding factor in all con- troversies.
