BOARD OF EDUCATION Every spring the citizens of the Unit IV School District elect two or three members of the six elected members of the Board of Education. These members during their three year terms, formulate the policies for Unit IV. During the last few years their big problem has been providing adequate school room and teachers to care for the growing enrollment. ln addition to this problem, these civic minded individuals study the educational needs of the Unit and strive to provide the high level of instruction the Champaign schools have always had. To function more efficiently the Board is divided into such committees as building, instruction, finance, and transportation. One of the big projects the Board has undertaken this year is the oper- ation of the school buses. Prior to this time the right to operate the buses was leased, now the buses are directly under the supervision of the Board of Education. For their many hours of unselfish service to the community, the Board of Education deserves sincere appreciation. 'eated left to right--Mrs. Elizabeth Squires, King Broderick, Richard R. Edwards, H.

Thirty years of experience and a tremendous love for boys are the qualifications he possesses which enable him to counsel and advise the boys who are in need of his services. A friend- ly smile, a kindly manner, and a firm hand make Mr. Major one to whom many students with a spare minute go just to talk, The 1959 Maroon x Miss Zehner Vice-Principal and Dean of Girls Whether a girl needs cheering up or wise ad- vice, she has a certain assurance of help from Miss Nell Zehner, Vice-Principal and Dean of Girls. Miss Zehner's willingness to listen, her kind- ness and graciousness, and her ready smile fit her for an office which she enjoys. Believing sincerely in the integrity of each individual, Miss Zehner is always willing to give a girl a chance to prove herself. As Vice-Principal, she spends many hours ar- ranging schedules for all the students and super- vising the recording of tardiness and absence for the girls. She is, indeed, an invaluable part of the C.H.S. administration. 11
