“Special Services Are Too Often Ignored In our school there were several people who were some- times overlooked. These were the people who came under the heading of Special Services. It would be hard to imagine a school system running smoothly without their aid. Each of these people had a specific task to complete. The custodians endeavored to keep the school neat and clean. They were here before anyone else in the morning and were usually the last to leave. It was the bus drivers responsibility to drive the student to and from school, in various weather and road conditions. The teacher’s-aides freed the teachers of several respon- sibilities and provided the opportunity for the students to re- ceive individual in-class instruction. The cooks provided a nutritiously balanced hot meal each day. Mr. Larson, the school business manager, kept tabs on the funds for the school and Mrs. Lingert handled the cor- respondence and kept track of the attendance records. Left custodians-Mr. Embrock, Mrs. Solberg, and Mark Buum. Above teacher’s-aides-Mrs. Diedtrich, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Quick, and Mrs. Hongslo.

School Board Supervises Construction Working on plans for the new elementary school and gymnasium is one of the main duties the school board has encountered this year. The new school’s main construction is being done by the Bouska Construction Company from Tyn- dall, South Dakota. At the present time the bids for the fur- nishings of the school and the bleachers are being closely considered by the school board. The school, despite interrup- tions caused by weather is expected to be completed by this fall and finished to be ready for students by the 1973-74 school year. The school board has many concerns besides the plans for the new school. The school board is in charge of offering contracts to teachers, setting up the budget, and helping to set up the curriculum. These with many other responsibilities and challenges is what the school board must decide on in order to keep our school running smoothly. 12
