Being a member of the Board of Education is , at times , a difficult undertaking, and it is very seldom that the members ever receive a word of thanks . The students of L. V. I. H. S. wish to take this opportunity to thank these worthy leaders and wish them success in their endeavor to provide much needed modern facilities for education.

Present Top Iwo LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Ioseph Tarris-High School Principal and Mr. Edward Bouldin-Supervising Principal In Room 17 you will find Mr. Tarris, a man with a pleasant voice and friendly smile. Mr. Tarris is ready and willing to help every student with her or his particular problems, no matter what they may be. He has also been known to have a word of warning to those who like to display their talents in other ways than by good grades and proper behavior. Mr. Tarris's job is a big one for he keeps the school running efficiently. Some of the various jobs that keep Mr. Tarris busy are the supervision of classroom instruction, operation of the cafeteria, schedules of teachers and pupils, Baccalaureate and Commencement, and supervision of the extracurricular activities. Even though Mr. Bouldin s office is located at New Florence, he fins time from his busy sched- ule and his many duties to visit the high school building nearly everyday. Mr. Bouldin always has time to give encouragement to many students who need a little extra push to accomplish some dif- ficult task. Those who have sought his advice have always found it to be wise and sound. Not only does he have a word of praise for those students who have done their work exceptionally well, but also he takes time to express his appreciation to our teachers who labor to try to improve our scholastic standings . 9
