THE ADMIN SCHOOL SYSTEM , . T T DR. MACKENZIE President of the Board MISS SZWAHLA Secretary DR. GALLAGH ER Superintendent 5 , x c MR. BROKAW District Clerk BEHIND THE SCENES A perfect exemplification of the old familiar saying Out of sight-out of mind is our Board of Education. Because they work behind the scenes, little is seen of this group of individuals. Yet they serve as the back'bone of our system of public education and work without pay and little praise. Let's meet some of the members of this group. Dr. Ralph P. Gallagher is well-qualified to be a member of the Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools. His education began in Michigan country schools. Upon graduation from a small-town high school in Fowler, Mich- igan, Dr. Gallagher then attended the State Teachers College of Michigan and Rutgers University. He also at- tended New York University, Harvard, and Columbia Uni- versity Teachers College. It was at the latter college that Dr. Gallagher was awarded his B.S., M.A., and Ed.D. degrees When not busily occupied with helping Bound Brook schools to be as good as possible, Dr. Gallagher takes Tennis and skating take up what leisure time Dr. Neil M. Mackenzie has. As President of the Board of Educa- tion, the niajority of his time and effort go into Board affairs. A graduate of Yale in 1934-, Dr. Mackenzie received his Doctor's degree in organic chemistry in 1937. A B.S. degree was awarded Mr. Robert E. Brokaw upon graduating from Rutgers University in 1924. Preceeding this, Mr. Brokaw, who is Secretary of the Board of Edu- cation, attended local schools. The years following his grad- uation from Rutgers were marked by employment in vari- ous banks. Evenings found him attending the American institute of Banking, to pursue his studies. Also devoting their unselfish services are: Mrs. Scott Maclennan, Mr. Ross Slingman, Mrs. A. A.4Adler, Mr. Charles Della Peruta, Mr. John Mizerek, Mr. Philip OiNeil, Dr. Joseph Viscione, and Mr. Stanley Freedman. JULIUS SULMONETTI pleasure in oil painting.
