BOARD OF EDUCATION-left to right: Mr. Walter V. Howe, Mrs. Lee Cavunuugh, Dr. Stuurt Stephens, Dr. Donald D. Lum, Presidentp Mr. A. Hubbard, Jr. Our Knowledge Grows Under Wise Leadership The Board of Education is composed of five members nom- inated by the Mayor and appointed by the City Council for terms of live years each. These terms are so arranged that one member is appointed each year. The Board has the duty of establishing policies, plans, pro- grams, and procedures for the schools. It can execute contracts. It evaluates the general activities and educational program of the entire school system. It delegates to the Superintendent of Schools thc direct administration of the school system. He ex- ecutes the policies which the board establishes. The paragraphs above give the legal framework for what is really a warmly human institution. The reality can never be caught by statements of powers and functions in city charters and state laws, for here we find a group ol men and women serving their city and its parents and children. They serve without compensation, through a fine sense of civic duty. They give long hours of their time and thought to the task of pro- viding the best possible school system. Their reward must comic from the knowledge of duty accepted and performedg all too often they are criticizedg all too seldom do they hear words of praise. I hope you will join me in a feeling of gratitude and appreciation to the members of our Board of Education. Donald M. Roderick Superintendent of Schools 8 DR. DONALD RODERICK, Superintendent of Schools
