Port Authorities The seniors of Bridgeton High School wish to express their sincerest gratitude to Superintendent Dr. Rowland H. Mulford and to the Board of Educa- tion who so competently work for the betterment of the public schools of Bridgeton. These invaluable persons work with interest, foresight, and untiring effort for the benefit of the community. Their under- standing of the problems of the schools is exhibited in their pursuit of their numerous duties. This year the Board of Education is composed of five members. They are Mr. Ellsworth H. Griner, president: Mrs. Barbara Brauer, vice-presidentg Mr. William Gehring, Mr. Crain, P. Portman, lack G. Kolman, Esq. The membership changes gradually each Ianuaryy as the term of one member expires, another representative from the businesses and in- QNX clustries of the community is named by the Mayor to fill the vacancy. The work of the Board of Education is ever present. Among their many duties is the responsibility of dis- tributing funds for buildings, textbooks, salaries, and repairs: of keeping satisfactory classroom space: of seeing that our schools have a library, auditorium, gymnasium facilities, cafeteria, and guidance pro- gram available. Adequate provisions must also be made for essential comforts. Proper lighting, sani- tation, and heating fall into this category. We firmly believe that the Board of Education will continue its excellent work of improving the edu- cational opportunities for the pupils in our schools. We, the Class ot 1954, have greatly benefited from the work of the Board of Education. X , . . - 'X ' Y. .f KN-'Z x 'N'-
