SCHOOL BOARD • Six energetic citizens form the hub about which rotates every initial proceedure of the entire system of the Salinas public schools. Regularly, on the second Monday of each month, these six men meet to go care¬ fully over each transaction necessary in the functioning of the two secondary schools in the Salinas district — the high school and the junior college. Five of the members on the secondary board of education receive their positions by public election. The sixth member, Doctor R. D. Case, superintendent of city schools, is appointed by those five to act as their secre¬ tary. At present the board includes Mr. W. B. Murray, of the Sego Milk Company; Doctor William M. Hayes, dentist; Mr. Harry L. Noland, lawyer; Mr. E. L. Knowlton, farmer; Mr. B. Young, of the J. C. Penney Company, and Doctor R. D. Case. Upon election to office, the members serve a term of three years. During that time, not one operation af¬ fecting the school can be carried out without the ap¬ R. D. CASE R. J. WERNER proval of the board. The board must hire or fire any and all school employees from the principal to the jani¬ tor. It supervises the mapping out of school study courses. It must examine, reject or consent to, every building and ground improvement. It must superintend the purchasing of major school equipment, the payment of bills, the receiving of warrants — every little matter of routine institutional proceedure must pass under their observation. Many times the men must hold three or four special meetings during the month to complete their important business of keeping students in the Salinas Valley comfortable and satisfied as well as educated. With so much personal time taken up and so much responsibility placed upon them, the natural assumption is that the school board receives a salary. “How much do they get?” Miss Peggy McCollum, bright young secre¬ tary to Doctor Case is asked. “One pencil,” she replies alertly, “before every meeting; I sharpen them a nice new pencil, and the next morning it’s used up!” BAYARD YOUNG EVERETT KNOWLTON WM.
