BO RD OF Throughout its twenty-five years of history Amherst Central High School has enjoyed the benefits of Board of Education members who have given freely of their time and efforts to build what is considered by many to be one of the most ambitious educational communities in the country. Day and night the halls of Amherst Central are alive with seekers of learning, ranging from the young people in the high school division to the alumni and other adults coming after regular school hours to find satisfaction in the evening school. The understanding by the Board of Education of the many educational needs of our community of Snyder and Eggcrtsville has helped beyond measure to spread the rewards of learning to as large a seg- ment of our community as reasonable costs will allow. The increased complexity of educational demands has resulted in more work for the Board, through numerous extna meetings and executive sessions so that present members are to be congratulated for their unique contributions to the civic worth of our public schools.
