SCHOOL BOARD The members of the school board are: Dr. Donald Hilty, President; Edgar Begg, Dr. C. W. Field, Merlin Jones, George Hawkey, and Adam Stewart, Clerk. The Board of Education plays a most important part in the educational program. The degree of excellence or inferiority of the educational program in our community is determined to a great extent by the kind of school board the community has elected. The board of education is the legal agency designated by the state to be responsible for the conduct of educational affairs delegated to the school district. The powers of the board of education are derived from the state legislature. Our community can be proud of the present and past Boards of Education which have enabled our community to maintain a first rate school. MRS. BURKHAM Mrs. Burkham, in name, is our office clerk but to all of us she is much more than her name implies. A friendly smile, a helping hand and a good suggestion are always awaiting each of us. We wish to thank her for her kind co-operation. MISS IMOGENE HAWK COLLEGE: W ittenberg College A.B.; Ohio University. SUBJECTS: Commercial Department. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: Bull- dog Press and Annual Advisor.
