RE: CLIFFORD H. SMART
MEMORIAL RESOLUTION
To The Oakland County Board of Commissioners:
Clifford H. Smart, having resided in Oakland County for 50 years, serving as an
outstanding educator and as a distinguished member of the House of Representatives,
passed away on at the age of 72.
P, /97-7
His career as a teacher, principal and administrator started in a one room rural
school house in northern Michigan and carried him through 19 years in the Avondale
school district, 20 years in the Walled Lake school district and endeared him to
thousands of students and parents in the County of Oakland.
His leadership in the Michigan Education Association and the Michigan Association
of School Administrators, including terms as president of both groups, had a significant
impact on the quality of education in Michigan.
Clifford H. Smart embarked on a new career as a member of the Michigan House
of Representatives from 1965 through 1974 where he faithfully represented the people of
Western Oakland County and was honored by being named Minority Leader of the House
for four years as well as Chairman of the Education Committee for two years.
Clifford H. Smart was a leader, visonary, humanitarian and will be long
remembered for his accomplishments and dedication in the interests of his fellow man.
Mr. Chairman, I move- that the foregoing memorial resolution be spread upon the
proceedings of this meeting and that a certified copy affixed with the seal of the County
of Oakland be forwarded to his surviving family.
