B, Bauer-Superintendent-Windham 'lhe Portage County ,Educational Executives' Council is the imposing title of an organization which was formed early in September, 1925. Its membership includes every superintendent and principal in the Portage county school system. 'lhe idea was suggested by County Superintend- ent McDowell, who expressed a desire to have all the school executives so closely associated as to render efficient counsel and assistance in develop- ing the various county-wide programs and activ- ities. A constitution outlining its objects- was adopted and the following officers elected: Supt. Thomas O. Griffiths, Mantua, President, Prin. John W. Bright, Aurora, Vice-Presidentg Prin. Calvin P. Rausch, Mantua Twp., Secretary-Treasurer. . The president appointed the following commit- tees, assigning each member to at least one, the chairman only being named here: Speedometer, Supt. R. R. Peck, Garrettsvilleg Literary-Musical Contest, Supt. W. M. Schumacher, Hiram, Ath- letics, Prin. T. M. Frazier, Ravennag Texts and Courses, Prin. C. P. Rausch, Mantua Twp.g Ly- ceum, Prin. F. B. Burchfield, Nelson, Tests, Supt. R. L. Fortune, Atwater. 'Ihe principal task of each committee is indi- cated in the title, and it is a, pleasure to state that every activity and project undertaken by these committees was handled with energy, efficiency, and success. Regular Council meetings were held bi-monthly. A special committee arranged the program. Mem- bers of the Council were assigned topics for pre- sentation to the group, followed by free discussions. Occasionally an outside speaker appeared. One item always was of purely entertaining natureg the various companies appearing on the county ly- ceum course were included here. The luncheon was not the least interesting feature of each day's events. The attendance at every meeting was ex- cellent. After this first year's trial and error period of finding the most effective way of conducting its affairs, the Council-members look forward to the coming year with interest and pleasure. It is their belief that the Council will prove even more valuable in co-ordinating and developing our edu- cational endeavors. -- 11926

Mgr. DEDICATION It is customary to dedicate this annual to the seniors of the County who comprise the graduating classes of the various schools. Such a custom is entirely fitting. Commencement sees each school bestow upon a favored few, in the form of a di- ploma, the highest honor which it is possible for them to confer. Each diploma represents twelve years of satisfactory achievement, the maximum of- fered by our public schools. To whom then, if not the seniors, should this annual be dedicated? It is not the intention of the writer to in any way detract from the glory of the seniors. How- ever, in glorifying them we are apt to overlook a tremendously important factor, without which such public school systems, and consequently such com- mencements, would be impossible. This factor is the eagerness of the public to provide educational facilities for their children. Let us, for a moment, consider this factor as best shown through the ser- vice of the public's representatives, the members of the school boards. How many students, or patrons, consider the sacrifices and responsibilities attendant upon school board' membership? Many an evening must he given over to the affairs of the school, to consider methods of raising more money and creating more space to care for the ever increasing number of students: to see that buildings are safe, properly warmed, ventilated and lighted: that proper sup- plies are procured, and sundry other details too multitudinous to mention. But of even greater importance is the responsibility, which falls on the board members of nearly all small schools, of se- lecting the teachers who will train the youth of to- day, surely a duty not to be dismissed without hours of careful consideration. What pay do they receive? They receive exact- ly one dollar a year less than our famed dol1ar-a- year men. Let us then show our appreciation, in the only way we can, by dedicating this annual not only to the seniors but to the Members of the Boards of Education of Portage County. And may all our pupils let the unselflsh service of these members be an ever present reminder that the real reward of a worthwhile achievement is to have done it. -R. R. P. H926
