 BOARD OF EDUCATION Sitting: Superintendent, J. C. Haws; Board President, J. D. Harris; Vice-President, Rex E. Richards. Standing: James H. Norman, Norman Jeppsen, David N. Morrell, Clerk of the Board, and Doug Fife. . . GUIDED US TO A YEAR OF GREAT SUCCESS... Cooperation between administrative leaders and the studentbody is most essential for a smooth, effective, and efficient education program. Working directly with the Utah State Department of Education is the Superintendent of the Box Elder County School District, Mr. J. C. Haws. Together with the school board, Mr. Haws directs the internal workings of the Box Elder School District. Box Elder High School, the largest secondary school in the district, is headed by Mr E. W. Payne, principal. Effective decisions must be made daily. Assisting Mr. Payne in this work is Mr. Roland M. Gourley, vice-principal and advisor to the Student Council. Together, these two respected leaders have served faithfully for the benefit of some 1500 students. Representing the student body, the Student Council works closely with Mr. Payne, Mr. Gourley, and the faculty to provide better teacher-student coop- eration in running the affairs of Box Elder High School. With this type of working government we, the students of Box Elder High, have been able to acquire a well-rounded education, enjoy the best of entertainment, participate in competitive and intramural sports, associate with people from every walk of life, and improve our social abilities. We have found fast and effective answers to questions and problems. We have enjoyed the best of modern facilities. As we continue through life, our high school days will be one of the outstanding features of life if we will make it such. We have had excellent leadership; now it is our task to complete the assignments given us, and to keep Box Elder, the best high school in the state. The Box Elder High School throughout its years has been growing in size, as well as its ability to train its students for happy living. At present, we find ourselves in a rapid growth pattern, which is evidenced by the new addition onto our building. We believe that the many offerings in our new addition will prevent some of the heart- breaks of the past where fellow classmates have passed up the opportunity to graduate into a bright future. We hope our new classrooms and labora- tories, along with more offerings and present facilities will encourage your friends and class- mates to develop skills, and learnings basic to modern opportunity. May I congratulate you on your fine spirit and numerous accomplishments for a great school year of 1964-65. 7
