School Board The School Board is one of the most useful organizations in this communi- ty. 1 hese men — Leslie Akers, trus- tee ; hrges Woods, president; Dr. W. G. Pippenger, secretary; and Richard Hershman, treasurer — truly do a great service for the youth of our community. Dr. Pippenger was appointed secre- tary at the beginning of the school year, after the death of Paul Howell, who had served on the Board since 1945. The Board members realize that our school must progress with the rest of the changing world so they started a modernization program two years ago with new seating and lighting in the grades. The downstairs rest- rooms were also modernized. In the future there are going to be two rooms a year relighted until the whole school is done. The members saw to it that we got a new Ford for the Drivers’ Training Course which was started this year. In the future the members hope to obtain for the school a combi- nation radio and phonograph set for the assembly. The modernization of the school and the equipment bought for the school help our youth of today keep up with current information and also the knowledge of man’s past. To do this service takes time, plan- ning. and an interest in the public good.
