I 'O In lt is the men and women, boys and girls so poured in and out that give the building a soul. THE SKYSCRAPER Carl Sandburg Without spirit and loyalty a school is a worthless shell cast up in society's lap. Who can best instill this loyalty? There is no one more iudiciously placed for it than the teachers of that school. Without a lively, progressive group of teachers a school will not only fail to inspire its students, but it will also lack the first essential for successful service to the public it serves. No school can hope to pro- duce the intelligent, wide-awake citizens so necessary in -a democracy unless it is a democratic institution itself and one which encourages the development of initiative and self-reliance in those who attend. , We feel that the faculty of Otto High School has the ability to instill this spirit. Their training is exceptional, their convictions are sincere and unquestion- able, and their pep alone makes them worthy mentors of the Terrors and their followers. 8

num 054 ,Sfmt mmcfm The control of the Otto Township public schools is vested in a board of five directors. Two members are elected every two years on the odd numbered years, except when there is only one vacancy caused by the expiration of the fifth member's term. Otto Township has been fortunate indeed in securing the services of men to act as school directors who are outstanding leaders in their communities. The Ottocrat wishes to offer recognition and pay tribute to these civic-minded citizens who willingly and without compensation give of their time and service to see that the children of Otto Township may have the best schools that can be provided. Mr. Milford Loop is the dean of the present Board of Directors. He is now serving his thirteenth consecutive year. Messrs. Chauncey Wasson, John Cun- ningham and Paul Kahle were elected for the first time in 1931 and have served ever since. All are now serving their eleventh year. Mr. Ralph Hulse is the iunior member, being first appointed to fill an unexpired term and then regularly elected last year. The Board elects its own officers and the present organization is given be- low, together with the beginning and expiration dates of each director's term of service.
