j: THE WHIRLWIND :C Cw THE SCHOOL BOARD The members of the school board have served from varying terms of two to forty years. As far as is known, Mr. J. K. Weatherford, Sr., has served in the capacity of member of a city school board longer than any other man in the state. This unusual record is certainly to be commended. Among the recent notable achievements of this body has been the innovation of the Smith-Hughes agricultural course. This new curriculum has proved most popular among the boys from the agricultural districts. The course, which gives the farm-inclined boys practical knowledge in stock- breeding, stock-raising, and animal judging, also includes the most recent scientific knowledge in agriculture. This addition to the school s courses has been the outcome of the efforts of Mr. Hudson, principal, and Mr. Finnerty, superintendent. Another outstanding accomplishment of the school board has been the extension of the very popular bus lines. As a result of the extension, the radius of those living in dis- tant regions having access to Albany High has been enlarged, and consequently the number of enrolled students this year has in- creased considerably. Besides this the school board has effect- ed a fine spirit of cooperation between the townspeople and the school administration and has avoided many of the disturbances characteristic of other cities and their school G.
