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.

MR. R. l.. SWElTZER, B. S., M. S. Principal Mr. Sweitzer is the tactful and understand- ing principal of our high school. He directs the school's program-arranges assembly pro- grams, sport activities, social events and the many little things that make a school system run smoothly-and teaches commercial law and bookkeeping. He can always be relied upon to handle any situation diplomatically, and because of his fine sense of humor and sympathetic manner he will always hold a place of honor among the students of Otto. 1 i MR. L. F. GERBER, B. S., M. Ed. Supervising Principal Returning from the Philippines to his duties as supervising principal of Otto Township, Mr. Gerber brought new inspiration to the faculty and student body. He furnished us with two interesting assembly programs and provided many educational bits of information about the life, customs, dress and topography of the Philippine Islands. This information is par- ticularly pertinent and beneficial now because of our interest in the Far East as one of the theaters of war.
