Shaekelford Garrison Maze Bradley, Supt XVh1tmor Abbott, See'y Maclkr 1410 ADMHNTSTRATIION The Board of Education has this last year, as always, cooperated with the faculty and students in an effort to make Modesto High School an efhcient, happy school. The Board has supplied and maintained an excel- lent physical plant with classrooms, laboratories and shops. It has met the requisitions of departments for the supplies needed to carry on a modern school program. Especially has the Board devoted much time and thought to the Hnancial problems of the district. In a very definite Way, the mem- bers have obligations both to the school and to the tax payers. In order to discharge these responsibilities, the Board has held many meetings, investigating plans and making decisions as to the Wise expenditures of money to procure the maximum amount of service for the money spent. The Board is also the policy-making organization. The quality of the school is thus, to a great extent, determined by the attitude of the members of the Board. The group in charge of Modesto High School has been especially progressive in its decisions. At all times the members have been actuated by a desire to preserve and build up the good name of Modesto High School. At all times they have been willing to devote time and reasoned thought to the solution of the many problems arising in a school system of this size. At all times they have shown a deep interest in the evidences that the students were obtaining in the school a good education to enable them to adjust themselves to a rapidly changing World. The Board has endeavored successfully to steer a steady course, avoiding both the rapids of ill-considered innovation and the rocks of opposition to necessary change. By their actions they have encouraged students and faculty to maintain a progressive, efficient, happy High School.
