vs,--KE School Board-Row 1: George A. Munro, Joe B. Elliott Jr., Everett Randall and Superintendent Paul Morris. Row 2: Dr. R. M. Gilmore, Dr. H. V. Smith, J. W. Poynter and R. R. Ferguson. Boa rd's by Donna Binder Constant striving for betterment and improve- ment of our school system was the task which the Board of Education set for themselves this year as in every year. The members of the school board are chosen by the members of the community, and have a great responsibility to the youth of today who are the citizens of tomorrow, These men worked hard at their jobs, giving freely of their personal time whenever they were called upon to do so. They know that keeping the Kearney school system on top requires plenty of effort, and they put forth their best. They met many problems in the course of their business, but when these difficulties had been re- viewed and discussed thoroughly, a solution for them was always found. The members of the board were Dr. H. V. Smith, Joe B. Elliot lr.. R. B. Ferguson, l0seph W. Poynter, Page 6 Advice Better Than Any Horoscope George A. Munro and Dr. R. M. Gilmore. Acting as president was George Munro and as secretary, R. R. Ferguson. Sewing as school attorney was Everett Randall. Superintendent of Schools Paul Morris aided and worked with the board. As a result of the efforts of the Board of' Educa- tion, the three new grade schools were completed, formally opened and put into use this year. The school board prepared the budget for the year. ap- proved expenditures, and handled other financial problems. Their job also was to elect teachers, fill vacancies in the teaching positions and approve the curriculum. We are all proud of Dr. R. M. Gilmore. who was formally recognized this year by the Nebraska School Boards Association for his twenty-seven years of outstanding service as a member of the Kearney Board of Education.
