The Board of Education z 4 e 5 l l E Mr. L. F. Kiliaxn. Dr. A, Gundersen. Mr. W. L. Rossiter, Supt. C. M. Wiley. Miss E. Goetting, secretary, president B. F. Frunlxe, Mr. O. Zielke, Mrs. A. E. Teachout, vice-president. Mr. Bigelow, Mr. A. Jordan. HE i942 Board of Education is composed of the following members elected by the Common Council: president, B. F. Franke, vice-president, Walter Bigelow, Mrs. A. E. Teachout, Dr. Alf Gundersen, Leonard Kilian, W. L. Rossiter, and Otto Zielke. Arthur Jordan is clerk ex-officio and business manager of The Board, John Roop, treasurer ex-officio, and Ethel Goetting, secretary to The Board. At the summons of the Town Superintendent, Lorenzo L. Lewis, the electors of the School District Number One met August 2, l85l, at the house of Simeon Kellogg, organized and elected the first school board. A similar election was held each year thereafter until 1867. This board was composed of the following men: Clerk, Edwin Flint--Lawyer, Treasurer, H. J. B. Miller+Traderg Director, Timothy Burns-Town Proprietor. ln i858 the clerk was chosen for one year, the treasurer for two, and the director for three. ln March l867, the legislature so amended the city charter, that the common council, at a meeting held the same month, elected one resident from each ward and one from the city at large as school commissioners. The commissioners as a body become the Board of Education of the city of La Crosse. The term of office for the commissioners was two years, and after the first year they were elected in December and commenced their term of office the first Monday in January following their election. The commissioners from the city at large and those from the even numbered wards alternated in these elections with the commissioners from the odd numbered wards. The city of La Crosse was at this time composed of four wards. In i887 the city charter was again amended so that the Board of Education iSchool Commissionersl were limited to seven in number and all elected from the city at large, with the provision that no two of them should reside in the some ward. To Superintendent Wiley, who retires this year as Superintendent of the schools of La Crosse, we extend our sincere thanks for his efforts in behalf of our educational system during the past Zi years.
