Absent from picture: Clarence l.app We Ewa! fbazfmmmea Salma! fwzczea The members of our Board of Education are men to whom we owe the deepest gratitude for they are the foundation of our education here in l.e Roy, and without them we would have little or no education at all. Their time and service are given willingly with no payment in return for this difficult job. l'he men are chosen in an election by the townspeople. They establish the major policies of the school. They employ the members of the faculty and administration, arrange for main- tenance of school buildings and grounds and the collection of funds by taxes to make the school possible. They must be always ready to solve problems which threaten our school. VVe know they are constantly at work looking for ways to improve the school and the education it gives. One of the finest examples of this is the recent addition of and improvements on school facilities. XYithout such willing and capable men on the Board this would never have been possible. VVe know that our interests are their in- terests-that is what they are there for. Many of them have children of their own attending school, so they are representative of the parents of the community who want the best in educa- tion for their children. However, they are also the men of the community who are gifted with qualities which make them tit to do a good job. The recognition they receive is far too small for the great task they are attempting and. in every possible way, accomplishing. e 1953 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schoo
