BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education is el ec ted by the people of the community to provide for the education of all the youth. Board members are elected on a non-political basis and serve without pay. The Board exercises legislative and iudicial functions in making provision for the necessary building, teachers, and equipment. The superintendent serves as the Board's executive officer and professional adviser. The consistency with which our public schools have fostered American traditions and our American concept of a government of free men is a tribute to the thousands of school board members who have functioned under local autonomy while preserving national unity. 17 MARY G.

At the first meeting called by their sponsor, Mr. Haegele, they elected as president Tom Wilson, vice-president, Peggy Cleary, secretary-treasurer, Dick Geschwind, stu- dent council representative, Terry West. The class had a very profitable year with their main attention focused on sports and the sophomore party. The first day of school in T953 brought out forty-nine juniors ready to start their third year.

The officers of the classwere as follows: Jim Watters, president, Helen Burger,vice-president, Peggy Cleary, secretary, Kaye Greene, treasurer, Tom Wilson, student council represent- ative. The class surpassed its goal in the magazine campaign, worked hard at selling stationery, and put on a very excellent prom for the seniors. The Junior play under the capable direction of Miss Mudge proved a success. The SeniorClass of T955 consists of forty-four members under Miss Frueh's leader- ship. The class elected Dick Geschwind, president, Phil Geheber, vice-president, Helen Burger, secretary, Paul Phelan, treasurer, Julaine Short and Tom Wilson, stu- dent council representatives.
