Papers and reports have a habit of piling high on the desk of Superintendent John Blackhall Smith. School Board Stripes According to Superintendent John Blackhail Smith, one of the chief goals of the Birmingham School System is to provide each student, according to his ability, with as complete an intellectual olfexing as he can absorb. The Board of Education achieves this goal by hiring the best teachers available and by pro- viding modern facilities. The new Evergreen Ele- mentary School and Covington Junior High School are examples of the new facilities scheduled to open soon. Working together, the school board, Dr. Smith, and his assistants constantly strive to maintain and improve the standards of the Birmingham School System. Aiding them are the curriculum coordinators who work with elementary, junior high, and senior high school teachers to achieve a uniform curriculum. This pursuit of excellence has made the system nationally-known for its high caliber schools, but more important, it promises continued educational improve- ments for every student. g Norman A. Wolfe Assistant Superintendent 24 Above: Daniel Nesbitt, Deputy Supt.g Kenneth Cook, Ass't Personnel Director, Kenneth Nagley, Personnel Director.

Administrators xtend Student es onsihilit Groves administrators work together to formulate school policy and to meet the diverse problems which arise daily. Willing to give more responsibility to the student body, the administration adopted the new policy of eliminating bells to mark class periods. In addition to their collective responsibilities each administrator has several individual duties. Principal Charles Lundy meets with educators from all over Michigan and the United States to explore new methods of teaching and secondary school organization. A wide range of administrative problems, from student discipline to class scheduling, find their way to the desk of the assistant principal, Mr. Harold Newcomb. Mr. William Hunter's primary duty as at- tendance director is to maintain an accurate record of the comings and goings of the entire student body. The supervision and coordination of Groves' extra- curricular activities falls in the domain of Mrs. Jean Sharrard, the director of student activities. 26 ,, plk Mr. Harold Newcomb ftopj often acts as a friendly consultant to Groves students, while Mr. William Hunter concerns himself with attendance problems of the student body.
