Ralph Mutzfeld, T. M. Long, Frank Korsmeyer, Carl Bercaw 3400! glftfbf The big job of keeping our school from lagging behind the times or coming to a stand- still is put into the hands of the school board. Besides running their own businesses they sacrifice much time in thought and in action to improve Butler High School. If we did not have the school board, we would not have school, and it is quoted that education is the biggest factor in solving the communism problem. Mr. Ralph Mutzfeld is president of the board. His regular business is running a hardware store. Mr. Mutzfeld knows the school for two reasons, first, he attended school here himself and second, he has been a member of the ' school board for fifteen years.
