FA CULTY and CURRICULUM U The faculty, Who were the composers, Wrote together the symphony that was the curriculum. Eleven new faculty members became members of the group, and together with former instructors, began Work on Fleming's contribution to the city Wide School Improvement study. The faculty met once a Week, either in small segments or all together, to evaluate present meth- ods and formulate plans for advancement in all phases of school life.
