Beginning with the first of September and continuing through May, whether the mercury drops below zero or the gentle zephers blow, the students make their morning trek to the red brick school house. With an eye on their watches and an armful of books they ascend the well worn steps to their home rooms. There are classes to attend and periods to spend in the study hall. There is time out for lunch. In the afternoon a club meeting or an assembly program may be scheduled to break the routine and add to the enjoyment of school. Such a typical school day with all its work and pleasure is made possible through the ef- forts of the School Board and the School Administration. The Board of Education is appointed by the Town Board to manage the business of the Schools: to appropriate and spend the money, to determine the policies of the school, to care for the buildings and grounds, and to select the administrative and teaching staffs. Mr. Ralph Mutzfeld, who is associated with his brother in the hardware business, has been a member of the Board for the past twelve years and now serves as President. He likes to play his cornet and enjoys a good game of golf in the Florida sunshine. Mr. Frank Korsmeyer, who is manager of the local office of the Indiana and Michigan Elec- tric Company, has been a member of the Board for the past two years and serves as Secretary. For recreation he enjoys fishing and handicraft work. Mr. T. M. Long, Treasurer, is serving his first year on the Board. Mr. Long, manager of a local drug store, is an ardent baseball fan and drives hundreds of miles during the baseball sea- son to attend games. —11—
