A2715 n EPOST BEHIND THE SCENES Commencement evening, an auditorium crowded with people, a stage banked with flowers. The orchestra strikes up a march and the class marches up the aisle and takes its place on the stage. The crowd sees a class of which any community might well be proud and applause expresses their approval of the work which student and teachers have accomplished. Seated in that same audience is a group of men to whom this class means more than community pride. To them it means personal pride in a task well done. No applause is theirs save the knowledge that a coni- munity has seen fit to place in their hands its greatest industry. To them is given the task of selecting efficient teachers and dictating the policies of school finance. Like most men who work for an ideal and not a salary they are the recipients of little praise but many knocks. To the Board of Education we are deeply indebted for the many sac- rifices which they have made from their own affairs to partake of the numerous duties and responsibilities connected with the making of a school organization such as we are privileged to have in Atwood. We can never thank either the present members or those of the past for the efforts which they have put forth. To these men we extend our heartiest thanks and appreciation for the many advantages made possible through their untiring efforts. --THE SENTORS. Eleven
