Murton BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education is composed of five men who constitute the power that directs the machinery of Bloom. The aim of the body of men is to meet the various needs of a growing township high school, to supply the equipment necessarv for an efficient working program, and to keep in touch with the various activities of the school. Among the many pressing duties of the Board of Education, the urgent need of a new high school faces them this year. In April, a new member — Mr. Arthur G. Poorman — was elected to succeed Mr. George S. Angus, who had served since 1906. Tiventy h- lo-, ' :- ' -c i - J

If George S. Angus After twenty-one years of active, constructive work as a member of the Board of Education, Mr. George S. Angus closed, in April, his long term of office — a term during which Bloom grew from a small school of a hundred students taught by seven faculty members, housed in less than ten rooms, to a modern school, with an enroll- ment of a thousand and a faculty numbering forty-one. His was a leading part in the life and growth of the institution. Mr. Angus sanctioned every worthy movement, and backed all the activities of Bloom. His con- structive criticism and his faithful service were directed to the best ends for Bloom. His interest in the individual was marked, and his influence extended to the entire school. HiLDUR SODERMAN OFFICE FORCE Much of the routine of the office work is efficiently carried out by two faithful workers — Hildur Soderman and Edna Rauhut. Miss Soderman ' s calm and cheerful services are given to principal, teachers, and students alike. Whether a letter is to be quickly written, a telephone call to be im- mediately reported, or a student ' s request to be noted, all is done with ease. To Edna, falls the task of keeping a careful tab on the daily class attendance. Besides being the official checker she supplies the departments and teachers with the necessary mimeograph copies for class exercise. Tiicniv-one
