Without the generous dollars of local merchants, and the cooperation of the whole school as well as the work of the staff, this book would not be possible. 3 Judy Mayfield.Judy Humke.Jon Morris, James Vandeventer, Photographers; Linda Brooks. i i I Lt{ DEDICATION We, the Rambler staff of 1956, dedicate this edition of the Rambler to Nina C. Hammond who has sincerely devoted her time to the betterment of our school. Mrs. Hammond is known for her keen interest in our welfare, her cheerful willingness to sacrifice time and effort for all students and faculty. 4 LEON ROBERTS GEORGE McCOY PARKE ROUNDS SCHOOL BOARD Seven members comprise the Brown County Board of Education. These men have a difficult, time-consuming job for which they receive no salary. The school board meets on the first Thursday of every month. In addition, special meetings are often necessary. The board has the task of running an efficient and economical school system. They must see to it that the children are well educated, that the parents and public are satisfied, and that the teachers do their duty. Complaints at times make the life of a board member very trying. Although it is a difficult job, it is very essential for the management and smooth running of the High School system.
