GERALD H. STONER President Jht ' ee V -itizend Direct S chooiA The school board of Valparaiso is composed of three cit- izens who may be either men or women and may be members of any vocation or profession. They are appointed by the city council on the recommendation of the mayor. The term of office is three years, but a member usually serves at least two terms and his position changes each year by rotation. The major job of the board is to make the budget and formulate the policies for the public schools. The members initiate the construction of new buildings and improvements. Last, but not least, on the recommendation of the superintendent of schools, they contract the teachers for all Valparaiso public schools. Dr. Gerald H. Stoner The life of a doctor is often a variety of experi- ences. Such is the case of Dr. Stoner, who is serving his third year on the Board of Education. He now holds the position of president. Dr. Stoner, a native of Por- ter County, was graduated from Wabash College and the former American Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons. Marvin C. Cain Mr. Cain, the auditor of the Continental Diamond Fibre Company of Valpa- raiso, is a graduate of Washington Township High School here in Porter County.
