Each year, the school board has on in- creasing number of problems in proportion to the increase in the population of our com- munity. Seven men are elected to serve on this board, who in turn choose a solicitor and a secretory. They meet once o month except when special meetings are called by the presi- dent. The supervising principal attends these meetings so that he may enforce the proposals and suggestions of the school board in the school district. Some ofthe many duties of our board are: to engage the services of teachers and administrators, to supply better and mod- ern textbooks, to encourage the communities' interest in school affairs. One of their largest projects was completed this year. It was the completion ot the new stadium behind the high school. ..--... . W.
