Lange Secretary BOARD UF EDUCATION The Bloom Board of Education represents a body of men who with Mr. Meade aim to carry on the machinery and aid in keeping up the standards of Bloom Township High School. Too often the efforts of the Board go unrecognized. Although their work is done behind the scenes, it is cl most important factor in the success and efficiency of an educational institution. W-illingly they give much of their time and energy to work faithfully in the interest of the community and students. In all their work the Board members have been supported whole-heartedly by the townspeople who have been most cooperative. For their efforts and accomplishments we students are grateful. f,,W,,. , .1-

PARENT mourns ASSUCIATIUN The Parent-Teachers Association serves to establish a connecting link between 'the school itself and the people of the community who are indirectly responsible for the fine educational opportunities offered at Bloom. This group is vitally interested in the welfare of the students and helps to foster a better understanding between teachers and parents. Among the worthwhile proiects of the group this year were the annual contributions to the Morgue and the Student Loan and Student Aid Funds. Plans to establish a scholarship also were discussed. Rummage sales and member- ship dues which this year went over the top helped to raise the money for these proiects. Two of the outstanding speakers at theybi-monthly meetings were Dr. Preston Bradley, noted pulpit orator and radio commentator, who addressed the group on the subject, World Peace, and Dr. Frank Jensen, superintendent of the LaSalle-Peru Township High School and Junior College, who discussed the growth of the junior college and its role in post-war education.
