School Board The Board of Education of Kewanee has completed one of its most active years since its foundation. Besides its annual responsibilities of hiring teachers, arranging school calendar, purchasing supplies and equipment, and fixing the budget, the 1938 Board has extended our educational facili- ties to a greater degree. To these ex- tensions of our educational system, we have dedicated this 1938 Kewan- ite, in order to show our appreciation to these members for their everlast- ing efforts for bettering education in Kewanee. Charles Bruner, superintendent of Kewanee Public Schools, has assisted the Board in carrying out proposals for its extension program and in sup- ervising the educational system with efficiency. The able secretary to the Board of Education and Superintend- ent. is Miss Adela Wesebaum to Whom much credit is due. President Dr. H. D. Swain deserves much credit for the initiative and in- spiration shown for the choice of such great facilities, the building of the Central Junior High School, the Ath- letic Field, and the improvements of our high school. Another member of the 1938 School Board is F. H. Steele, leader in the bakery business, being a member since 1935. Vernon D. Curtis, cash- ier at Kewanee Machinery and Con- veyor Company, was also elected to the board in 1935. Louis Mitton, a Walworth Manufacturing Company employee, was elected in 1936.
