Facult HI didnlt Hnd a great dif- ference in the faculty in Argentina than here, proclaims Elaine Starks. 6'The teachers were very well informed on their subject and they had a talent for making it interesting. The faculty in Filipino schools is similar to the faculty heref' agrees Lucille Usison. 4'The major difference is that high schools here offer an elective program for students who wish to utilize their acquired skills immediately after graduation as well as a sound program for those who are planning to attend colleges and universitiesf, More unique to Waterford High School is the extra help program whereby the 51 faculty members provide special instruc- tion to any of the 875 students who remain after school on afternoons Monday through Thursday.

Joseph C. Kunces. University of Massa- chusetts, A. B., Harvard University, A. M., Bridgewater State Collegeg Boston Univer- sity. Superintendent of Schools. A new superintendent directs the destiny of public edu- cation in Waterford. Joseph C. Kunces is responsible for the education of the 3,824 students enrolled in the Waterford Public School System, of which Waterford High School is a part. It is he who is responsible for the implementation of the decisions made by the elected Board of Education for the five elementary schools, Clark Lane Junior High School, and Waterford High School. An intensive comparative study of the schools of Can- ada has been undertaken by this Massachusetts native. He has visited 28 Canadian schools during his travels and has been especially interested in the way that they solve their bi-cultural and bi-lingual problems. His educational phil- osophy for Waterford to raise its already high standards includes making more provision for individual differences in the learning program. The primary immediate attention will be given to the non-college preparatory student at all grade levels. Directing a faculty of 51, Principal Clarence A. Coogan, Jr. is serving his second year as the administrator of the five-year-old high school. This Air Force veteran has visited Newfoundland, the Azores, Algeria, Tunisia, and Italy. His addnistration has seen the school accredited by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the graduation of the first two secondary school classes in the history of the town, and plans for the second major addition to the physical plant. Vice-Principal Harold Goldberg began serving in his administrative ollice full-time this year. Two guidance teachers now give full-time attention to the guidance pro- gram. Clarence A.
