SCHOOL BOARD: Seated; Superintendent Harold B. Ause, Eldon Hoi-ness, T. O. Harstad, Donald Morem, Henry Pederson. Standing; Howard Wickett, Milo Afseth. The governing body of our school is our school board, which is composed of six members. These members are elected for a term of three years by the people of Independent School District No. 40. Eldon Hoiness, manager of the Harmony Creamery, is the President. Donald Morem, employee of a men’s clothing store, is Secretary. Henry Pederson, a rock-crusher, is Treasurer. Milo Afseth, a salesman; Howard Wickett, a livestock dealer; and T. 0. Harstad, a farmer; are the other directors of the board. They have a real interest in our school, since four of the six have children now attending school here. The board is over the administration as a whole. It has the final authority on all matters per- taining to the school. It is the legal head of all departments. One of its most important powers is to set the levy on property taxes, which are used to support and maintain the school. It has the power to hire all school officials and teachers. A yearly budget is also prepared by the board. It is the sincere interest and endeavor of the school board to provide the best educational program possible for the students. During our hurried days of high school we seldom take the time to reflect upon the wonderful opportunities offered to 11s during these four years. We do appreciate what the school board and community has done for us in making these years cherished memories. DEDICATION It is to all our parents that we, members of the Gass of 1953, dedicate this annual. For the past thirteen years—from kindergarten when we played in the sandboxes, colored pictures, and napped on the floor, to the time we shed those child-like pastimes with the lofty dignity of sixth graders; from our first days in seventh grade when we finally learned the new routine and our way around the high school building, to our ninth grade days, characterized by our finally being freshmen and having gala Christmas parties, programs, vacations, studies, and examinations; and from our sophomore year sponsoring the Homecoming, through other parties, the prom, and ballgames, to this our senior year—our parents have also taught, guided, and advised us. To show our appreciation for all that they have done for us, we dedicate this 1953 CARDINAL TO THEM—our parents. 3
