Born in the dawn of a new era of mankind, this publication has survived its humble begin- nings and has continued through two of the greatest catastrophes in the history of the world. The staff has striven to make of this edition a review worthy of Davis leaders, activities, and achievements through the years. The reader will note that the staff writers and artists in the creation of their book, have presented the past as a background for the present. 5

Seador, was the planning of the new high school on the Wartburg Property. This project seemed to cause much controversy throughout the city, but we greatly appreciate the fact that our Board is doing everything it can to hasten the date of actual construction. We had hoped to be able to report that the city would allow a special spring referendum on the approval of the issuance of bonds for the financing of the project, but as we go to press, the city's alder- men have just voted to postpone all voting until the general election in November. Another duty of the Board of Education was to approve the use of funds for the upkeep 6 of the schools. Davis was not neglected, for back in March we noticed that the halls of Davis were being repaired prior to the painting of the entire school this summer. A great honor came recently to the Board, when Mrs. Carl S. Weist, one of the newer mem- bers, for her excellent work on the Board of Education as well as for her many other im- portant activities in the city, was elected the Outstanding Citizen of Mount Vernon for 1949. When we realize that We have such quali- Hed and representative citizens on our School Board, it is no wonder to us that outstanding accomplishments are made in the educational developments of the Mount Vernon Public Schools.
