POLICY MAKERS The Board of Education sets the policies; the Superintendent of Schools carries them out. Through close harmony between these two agencies. Minneapolis has secured a school system second to none, administered efficiently and economically. These Board members receive no financial remuneration; they sacrifice time and money for the sake of the children of the city. We students appreciate this fact and give all honor and credit to these public-spirited citizens who are doing more than any other group to build our city well. The President of the Board. Miss Bauman, was herself a city teacher and is now a successful business woman of Minneapolis; the secretary. Dr. Drake, is one of our city's outstanding surgeons. Two prominent attorneys, known to every Minneapolitan, are on the Board. Henry J. Bessesen and Judge Arthur LeSueur. James Gould, head of the Shrine Club and former State Game and Fish Commissioner. has been prominent in our city's affairs for many years; and Walter Johnson, because of years of practical financial experience, is an expert on taxes and finance. Lynn Thompson has served for more than twenty years on the Board and has been the people's champion for good schools. Wherever good schools are mentioned. Lynn Thompson's name is inevitably brought up. To our Board of Education we offer sincere praise for doing an enormous task ably and well.
