As a result of our centralization. we have several new members on our Board of Education. These men give of their time and energy to serve their community and country, and receive no compen- sation for their labors. except the feeling of a job well done.

To carry out these policies, the Board employs members of the iaculty and ad- ministration, as well as arranging for maintenance of the school buildings and grounds. and the cole .74 lection of funds by taxes.
