BOARD OF EDUCATIGN Society moves slowly toward civilization, but when we com- pare epochs half a century apart we perceive innumerable signs that progress has been made. Fifty years of continued growth is Ligonieris claim for recognition in Public High School Educa- tion, as she looks in retrospect over times and incidents that have now become history. The vast majority of Worth While achieve- ments become such as a result of careful, judicious planning with definite ends in view. That the youth of today might be better prepared to face the challenge of tomorrow was the motive which prompted the Board of School Directors to plan with wisdom additional facilities for the training of Ligoniefs sons and daugh- ters. These increased opportunities for training are now real- ities, but true achievement is a challenge which must be heralded henceforth to every boy and girl. We pay tribute to the members of our Board of School Directors because of unselfish service ren- dered in behalf of those who fifty years hence aspire to look back- Ward to accomplishments made possible through the clear Vision of those entrusted with authority and power to plan for posterity.

Mr. Mathews gives Mr. NIcKeIvey facts about the Senior Cafeteria for the New Fort. SENIOR OFFICERS JACK DONOVAN .................. President EVA WINELAND .... .... V ice President REBA JAMES ..... Secretary BILL HEGAN ..... Treasurer On to Washington . . CAPABLE LEADERS OF UPPERCLASSMEN Mr. Mathews and Mr. McKelvey directed senior activity in both home room and class. Besides teaching Problems of Democracy and French, Mr. Mathews devoted much of his time to helping the seniors plan various projects which would finance the graduates' trip to Washington in the spring. Prob- ably the outstanding achievement of the government class was conducting a poll of presidential votes in the community which forecast quite accurately the outcome of the election locally. Seniors in Mr. McKel- vey's home room appreciated the additional privilege of associating outside of class with an English professor who can read Shake- spearean lines so dramatically. All upper- classmen enjoyed literature and composi- tion classes with Mr. McKelvey. While seniors struggled to discover what was rot- ten in the State of Denmark. the juniors enjoyed the chivalry and romance in The Idylls of the King. Page Ten
