ADMINISTRATION MR. M. RAY MORRIS McDermott Faces Problems As School District Expands To Superintendent H. C. McDermott falls the task of managing the schools in the WesterviUe School District and maintaining the high quality of educational oppor- tunity to which WesterviUe has always been accustomed. McDermott has had considerable experience in the teaching end of education as well as the administrative part. Before taking his job in WesterviUe in 1964, McDer- mott had instructed courses in biology, chemistry, physics, world history, and American history. He had also been principal of Sidney High School and, later, Superintendent of the Sidney school system. A steady increase in the population of the district and Westerville ' s annexation of still more land presents McDermott with the problem of providing adequate schooling facilities for the incoming students. If and when he has leisure time, McDermott enjoys several hobbies, including music, reading, golfing, and the all- American pastime fishing. H. C. McDermott, B.S.Ed., B.E., M.Ed. MR. M. RAY MORRIS holds the position of Assistant Superintendent of Schools. It is his job to see that all the school ' s buses are headed in the right direction when they start out in the morning and to make sure that they all return safely to the fold every night. His outgoing personality has won him many friends around the school and town, and he still finds time to be active in community organizations, and to enjoy music, the theater, and sports. 18
