Wayne, performs the role of board secretary by keeping accurate B. H. S. records. Bottom: Mr. John Edris, a well-known Parlor City lawyer, capably fills the ex¬ acting position of board treasurer. Yes, our schools have changed! We have progressed from the one- room school of yesteryear to our spa¬ cious system of buildings today, and many changes are yet to come. Plans have been completed for a new gymnasium-auditorium, which will accommodate four thousand people. There will be modern dress¬ ing rooms and athletic offices. The building will also include classrooms for industrial arts, band, vocational home economics and agriculture. But these changes can be made only through expert leadership. We have this in our board of education. Dr. Brickley, through his everyday contact with the community, Mr. Markley, as a sports’ enthusiast, and Mr. Edris, as a civic-minded lawyer, realize that more and more space will be needed. Our school board has made many improvements in the past and all indications are that they will make many more in the future. % I

Many thanks for the untiring efforts of our principal, Mr. Park, in help¬ ing us to build a sturdy foundation for a worthy life.

Mrs. Sills, secretary to the principal, maintains a record of absentees, tardiness, scholastic achievement and other student activities. Mrs. Dotter¬ er, the former Phyllis Gerber, who is secretary to the superintendent, keeps a detailed account of the finan¬ cial status of the schools and their organizations and orders all supplies.
