THE SCHO0L'S DESTINY BOARD OF EDUCATION FTER the death of Mr. Dana Elliott last fall, Mr. Carlton T. Bindley was elected at a special election to fill the va- cancy. The remainder of the board is the same as it was last year. These five men who have been selected by the people of Bloom Township to oversee the Work of the high school and to solve the many problems of finance which are constantly arising, are deserving of much praise for the Way in which they have given of their time and energy in order that the boys and girls of this community may have a better education. In spite of the fact that they are men with positions which demand all of their attention, and they are not paid for their services on the board, they have gladly given to the school any time which was needed. Always working in harmony and with no thought of selfish interests of any kind, they have done what they have felt was best for the school and for the boys and girls. Their unusually fine spirit of cooperation has resulted in a board of education of which this community can be very proud. I I R. ENGELHARDT l 1 E. RICHARDS A BOUK OF FRIEN E. l- FENNEMAN DSHIP H.

A T0 GRADUATES FRIENDSHIP! What a fine thing it is When genuine, and how disappointing when spurious. But We all have to learn through bitter experience how we may judge the true from the false. Also we learn to appreciate more fully true friendship after we have come into contact with that so-called friendship which is based on what the individual can gain for himself. Then, too, We come to realize that the only way to gain real friends is to be one. As seniors about to leave at the end of your high school days, l hope you have learned to be true friends to others. And l trust that here in high school you have rnade a few real friendships which will bring back to you pleasant memories for the rest of your lives. High school days should be happy' days, and I hope yours have been filled with the richness of association with true friends. RCP ORA M.
