CIVICS ECONOMICS Every senior is required to take civics for his own benefit and for the betterment of the future government. One cannot be a good citizen without some knowledge about our government, how and by whom it is organized and operated. It is also es¬ sential for a good citizen to know the value of money and how to use it to the best ad¬ vantage. Civics and economics, are both taught by Miss Shively. 8

MANAGERS HOWARD ULLMAN President WILLIAM KUNKEL, JR. Secretary WARE BAKER Treasurer Four short years ago we came under the jurisdiction of the Board of Education. The three men who compose this board of managers have constantly worked together to better our educational system so that when the students of P. A. Allen High grad¬ uate, they will be able to take their places in the world without flinching. Let it not be forgotten that without their guidance, without their aid, and with¬ out their sincere interest, we, the class of of 1940, would not have found the going so pleasant. Our school board is composed of well known citizens of Bluffton. Mr. Ullman, president of the board, is president of the Red Cross Manufacturing Co.; Mr. Kunkel, secretary of the board, is the publisher of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, and a mem¬ ber of the Indiana University Board of Directors; Mr. Baker, treasurer of the board, is the local International Implement dealer. 10
