This goal can only be achieved through constant improvement. The Birm- ingham Plan was designed to introduce pro- posals to further quality education. Accord- ing to this plan, individual scheduling and independent study will be stressed. A committee has also been appointed to investigate the possibilities of a Teen Cen- ter. The contracts and costs are being con- sidered, and Birmingham teens may soon have a center with planned activities. ,rar Front Row: Mr. George W. Coombe Ir., Vice Presidentg Mrs. Pell Hollingshead.

Mr. Charles Lundy, principal, must deal not only with school personnel and problems, but also with the public. Meeting with principals of other schools, the Board of Education, and department heads to co-ordinate the curriculum requires much of Mr. Lundy's time and effort. Aiding him is Mr. Harold Newcomb, assistant principal, who works directly with the students. Keeping track of the whereabouts of 1700 students is the responsibility of Mr. William Hunter, attendance director. Director of student activites, Mrs. Jean Sharrard, organizes the school's important extra-curricular activi- ties. Several secretaries, clerks, a bookkeeper, and recep- tionist take care of essential clerical duties. Together, this competent staff creates a pleasant, educational atmosphere for all attending Groves. V gy ' .l- I J -- 1 ' . 1'IQ'.
