Snyder, District 284's Superintendent of Schools, again provided the Wayzafa community with the educational leadership so necessary for individual and community success. Under Dr. Snyder's direction the curriculum and school building program of District 284 met the challenges of an inflationary economy. Progress plus was the hallmark of the Snyder-directed administration which skillfully blended and programed the activities of over 4200 students. The growth of the senior high curriculum to satisfy both college-bound and terminal students was significant. Howard Bergstrom, Director of Instruction, was the second ranking administrator in District 284.

FRED GEHRMAN Chairman WILLiAM YOUNG Treasurer Bowul Cm uW tc Pio otb 'BOuepiUd cyo th Puiujuti Blueprint for the Future was the theme for the dedicated activities of the School District 284 Board of Education. The seven-member policy making group for the local community, relentlessly continued their struggle for quality education. A spiralling enrollment, a limited income, and a shortage of time for their many meetings were chronic problems for the Board. Despite these now familiar handicaps, the Board recorded a year of significant progress. The 1963-64 school year was highlighted by the opening of the Sunset Hill Elementary School on County Read 15 and Teakwcod Lane. This was the sixth school building in the district. The Board presented a bond issue to the electorate on April- 21 which called for a new elementary school, the second phase of the senior high school construction and the modernization of the Widsten School. The Board of Education, which was enlarged to seven members this year, consisted of the following members: Dr. Fred Gehrman. chairman; Mrs. Jean Mitchell, clerk; Mr. William Young, treasurer; Mr. James Anderson; Mr. Arthur Bauer; Col. Robert Elliott; and Mr. Dean Linman. Mr. Linman concluded a lengthy and distinguished career as a Board member with the end of the school year. Mr. Linman's outstanding record as a Board member and officer have earned him the everlasting gratitude of his fellow citizens. The students of WHS join in this expression of thanks. DEAN LINMAN Director JAMES ANDERSON Director Finances just don't bring out a smile on anyone. District 284's Board of Education pondered another problem. Two meetings a week were not uncommon for these community servants. f

Adt hu6katU tv Absorbed PudbLcw, iCeptCchwl Ri-uuuaCj SwwtMy Mr. Roald Johnson, as principal, maintained public relations between the school and community. His area of responsibility included administration and supervision. The recruitment and proper placement of new teachers and compilation of the school schedule briefly describe administrative functions. Supervision entailed instructional and personal assistance to teachers, establishment of leadership, and the development of the curriculum. Someone had to make the all-important decisions of a complex high school metropolis, and this jurisdiction fell into the qualified hands of Mr. Johnson. Wayzata could not function properly without the expert administrative talents of its principal. Mr. Roice Horning, co-ordinator of all school activities found himself the topic of many a heated discussion as students tried to define their rights. Being responsible for the activities of thirty-one organizations was bound to cause some friction. As advisor to the Student Council, Mr. Horning helped schedule assemblies, homeroom meetings, and other all-school projects. Attendance problems and student behavior outside the classroom were controlled by the Assistant Principal. To add to an already burdensome job, Mr. Horning had to cope with the teenage world of fashion when tight white levis, beltless shifts, and hanging shirt tails become the thing.
