CHGOL BOARD Alfred Githens, William Hennessey, John Fletcher, Priscilla King, and Leo- nard Lisai. The responsibilities of our school board are far- reaching and varied. Besides insuring adequate school facilities, the board must provide for property mainte- nance, transportation of pupils, acquisition of text books and other materials and supplies, and for em- ployment of faculty. Long-range planning of curric- ulum, housing, personnel, and costs, are of never-end- ing concern to the board. In fact, all matters pertain- ing to the education of the young people of our com- munity are in the hands of our school board mem- bers, for it is they who supply the means for imple- menting our educational program. Each year, in addition to regular duties, the school board is faced with numerous emergencies ,such as fires, leaking roofs, the necessity for rearranging space, and sometimes illness of faculty members. The major problem now confronting our board is the ever-increasing size of the student body at Bellows Falls High School. This problem has created others. Some of them are lack of space for classes, shortage of storage space, inadequacy of materials, and the need for additional teachers. Much time is being given to a study of the reports of the Marshall Area School Study Committee, to a survey of the needs of our high school in relation to state standards, and to the acceptance or rejection of proposals for the improvement of our school system. The students of BFHS are deeply indebted to Mrs. Priscilla King, Mr. John Fletcher, Mr. William Hen- nessey, Mr. Alfred Githens, and Mr. Leonard Lisai for their devoted and unselfish efforts during the past year.
