SECOND ROW: Small, Schulze, Thiele. FIRST ROW: Hauser, Burner, McKc1in. Board of Education Formulates Policy HE highest authority in the school system. the Board of Education had the greatest burden of responsibility in matters concerning the schools making up the Normandy District. A tremendous amount of work was done by the Board, with the single goal of providing the best possible educational opportunities for Normandy residents. The success of their work was seen in the high standards of excellence of our schools. Among the various duties of this public-spirited group were tll the legislation of general policies for the entire Normandy Consolidated School Dis- trictg 123 the maintenance of full disciplinary authority over all school employeesg 133 the regu- lation of the finances of the school so as to give Page Ten the students the finest of education at the least pos- sible expendilure to the communityg 141 the guard- ing of the general health and the maintenance of the highest scholastic standards for the students under their supervision. Because the citizens of the community are fully aware of the importance of a reliable and conscien- tious Board of Education, they have never had cause to regret the selection of this distinguished group. They represent continual progress in a most im- portant phase of community life. The determina- tion with which these men worked was an inspira- tion to other similar groups. The slogan of our Board might very well be, to paraphrase Missourils State Motto, Let the Wel- fare of the Students be the Supreme Law.
