SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION A 1l5970,l45,000 business-that's what it costs to run the public schools of Waukesha in 1952! Re- sponsibility for this business is placed in the hands of the Board of Education, nine citizens elected for three year terms by the people of the city. The Board determines the general school policy for' the six elementary, the junior and senior high schools. To carry out the Board's rulings and administer the affairs of the school system is the responsibility of the Superintendent, Mr. R. G. Hein. About two hundred people, including classroom teachers, principals, supervisors, maintenance and repairmen, clerical workers, and nursing staff are needed to ,accomplish the education of Waukesha's children. Pride and joy of the city this year are the two new grade schools, Hadiield and White Rock, which are the last word in modern school architecture. Chief headaches in 1952 and the years ahead are the overcrowded condi- , tions, especially in the high school, and the fact that, MR. R. G.

HIGH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION School officials whose interests center around student welfare create a forward looking school. Signs of progress and advanced thinking in Wau- kesha High are illustrated by consideration of a dif- ferent type of report card, seinor privileges, plans for new auditorium seats, the seating capacity of Haertel Field increased by 700, and the new field dressing rooms C put in use this fallb. Mr. Shields, principal, co-ordinates the functions of the school and promotes better relations between faculty, stu- dents, and parents.
