Work Nine-to-Five K VK, 1 x T Mr. Benefield has served on the Board of Edu- cation for ten years. Of the ten years, he has been clerk and vice-president for six years. The satisfaction that we have the best school in Oklahoma, best sums up Mr. Benefield's feel- ings concerning his rewards. 3. Currently clerk of the school board, Pat Rogers makes a living by devoting his time to his busi- nesses, the Diary Snack and Rogers Cabins in the Disney area. He has been general manager and Chief bottle washer for 23 years. Mr. Rogers has been a member of the board for four years, each year holding the office of clerk. Mr. Rogers feels that the satisfaction of being a part of a fine school system is a reward within itself as a board member. 4. Serving as a member of the school board for seven years, Stan Jones has been making a liv- ing for 13 years by managing his own business, the Grand River Abstract. His duties include being president and managing officer. Currently vice-president of the board, Mr. Jones has held other offices including president for two years and clerk for three years. An opportunity to participate in the manage- ment and policy making decisions which affect our most valuable resource, our young people. It is indeed rewarding to have had a small part in developing and maintaining an excellent school system for our children, comments Mr. Jones on rewards he receives as a member of the board. 5. Self satisfaction of seeing that we have the best school for our size in northeastern Oklahoma, best sums up the rewards Harold Lee has gained as an officer and member of the Board of Education. Mr. Lee has been serving on the board for 10 years while holding the offices of clerk and mem- ber for four years and president for six years. He currently holds the position of president. He is presently making a living as manager of the Grand Savings and Loan Association, where he is responsible for management and operations of the business. Board members do not get paid for their ser- vices to the school but a reward of seeing the Jay Public School System grow is more than enough payment to them. 19
