BOARD OF EDUCATION That's what we like about this group: they all have chil- dren who .make them keep up with the jive talk. Theylre so very human about advising the powers that be . Every- thing they recommend has always been carefully checked, both from our point of View and from a more practical side. But it's the family man idea that impresses us so. It is be- cause these men understand us that we have enjoyed so many different opportunities. Daughter Susie can make Mr. Gallman sit up and take notice, and as treasurer of the board he has made us do the same. Mr. Fitzpatrick, too, has two fine young boys as living examples fvery living!J of how we feel and why. Perhaps that explains his fine work as the board secretary-he may have those two to keep track of, too. And certainly Doc Brickley knows about us, for his two sons 'have all of our ideas and tricks mastered! Therefore he represents someone who knows what he's talking about, and as president of our school board, he has proved our theory correct. But no matter what the reason, we feel, that this board is a very special one. These three men will be up on the stage with us as we graduateg one of them will give us our diplomas. And as we take those treasured scrolls, we shall be thinking of everything this school board has done for us. We shall not forget them. We couldn't. Page Six

l I 1 Everyone knows Sam Woodruff! We know him'as an efficient principal, as a laughing friend, as a willing organizer, and as an iron hand. But those who .meet the iron-handn side soon realize their mistake, while those who win his faith are proud to share his con- fidence. And because everyone knows him, everyone likes him, The boys feel that he treats them squarely as fellow-men, while the girls think he is sincere and lots of fun. fAnd have you noticed his picture?j Welre going to miss his cheery grin. We'll miss him! Not many of us come into close contact with our superintendent, but it is Mr. Willey who keeps the wheels of the school machin- ery running smoothly. He's the man behind the scenes, the silent partner. Those of us who are privileged to know him realize that his interest in us is very personal. He has a son like usg he knows what we want and what is best for us. His son is stationed in England, waiting to fight for fun-loving kids -here in America Mr. Willey has been at it a long time. It's a man-to-man, shoulder- to-shoulder business with them. And that's the way Mr. Willey makes us feel: he's all for us-we're all for him! Page Eight
