riam Our late, congenial superintendent of schools, Mr. D. E. 1Vlcl..ane, was born in I872 and died on September 16, I942, having served the West Bend Public Schools for thirty-seven years. He received his teacher training at the Whitewater Normal School. Prof lVlcl..ane, as he was known to students, was probably the best-liked teacher and administrator in this community. While his methods of teaching and admin- istrating were forceful, they were by no means severe or harsh. There are countless men and women today in West Bend who received instruction from Mr, lVlcl..ane. These people will always remember his kindness and patience. Mr. McLane contributed much to our school life by cleverly taking charge of assemblies, handing out diplo- mas, conferring with students and teachers, and perform- ing countless other duties. Today, the ones who knew him personally miss the familiar, lovable personality that passed through the halls frequently. ln honor of his thirty-seven years of service the new grade school was named The McLane School and will perpetuate his memory for many years to come. At, the Dedication Service, Mr. O. H. Plenzke, secretary of the Wisconsin Education Association, summed up Mr. lVlcl..ane's character extremely well when he said, He was so human and so humane. Qdication Coach Rowland Runkel Coach Robert Caldwell Page Two Top -- D. E. McLane Bottom -- Grade School Dedication: Mr. Plenzke, Mrs. Fred Manthei, Mr. A. H. Klumb ln dedicating The 1943 Bend we, the class of '43, feel that we are presenting it to two out- standing men of the West Bend High School faculty. Both were successful and well-liked coaches, Mr. Runkel in track and Mr. Caldwell in football and basketball. Coach Runkel, who has been in the navy as a seaman first class since October 20, 1942, came to West Bend High School in 1930 and has been in charge of track ever since. The record he has left behind' is a hard one to beat, his teams winning I3 trophies including a state championship. Coach Caldwell has only been at West Bend for two years but in that time has won an envious position for himself. He is recognized as an out- standing football and basketball mentor. Through his coaching, the '42 football season was one of the most successful in years, finishing for a second in the Little Ten Conference. During the school term he was reclassified and expects to leave for the navy off1cer's training some time in june. Since both of these men are worthy of high tribute, the class of '43 takes this means of honoring their teaching in West Bend High School. We hope that they will resume their posi- tions in West Bend High School after the war and carry on with their teaching and coaching practices.

The members are outstanding in community work as well as in their own professions. They are well informed and experienced in the functioning of education as their terms have run from 25 years down. Briefly, the duties of the school board are to legislate, formulate, and adopt policies upon the advice of the professional staff and community. One job which has kept them tremendously busy because of the war is that of hiring teachers. Eight teachers and two janitors have been engaged since January l, 1942. Once a month the superintendent of schools, lVlr. Batho, secures, organizes and presents full information about the school to the board. This report includes such things as attendance, state of the finances, and the results being obtained.

The school board is responsible for the welfare of approximately I,000 students and performs its job with the utmost diligence and discretion. ln its policy the board endeavors to run school affairs efficiently, and not to Sched Ie Makers-- regiment them.
