They are fronted with the seemingly impossible task of solving all of the many problems that arise in the school system throughout the year. These few men plan not only the general policy to be followed by the many schools, but also must take care of the hundreds of small details that arise. During the last twenty years they have been kept busy with the building of eight new schools, and in View of the growth of the Clinton School District there will continue to be a need for more classroom space. Theirs is a time-consuming and delicate job, for they have to be constantly aware of public opinion. Overseeing the edu- cational process is not easy, and the students of Clinton High owe much to the School Board.

Winners of 15 games, Clinton's River Kings summer baseball crew posted an excellent record during the 1963 campaign, losing six and tying one. On at least four occasions the Kings broke loose for impressive wins by lop-sided scores over the opposition, but suffered no losses in similar fashion. In preparation for the state tournament trail, the Kings whipped twelve opponents, tied Betten- dorf, and lost a doubleheader to Iowa City, along with a single game to Rock Falls. ln the summer tournament the Kings were paired in the same sectional with the eventual state champion, Clinton St. Mary's, and had to bow out by a 4-O decision. Most of the squad will remain eligible for the 1964 sea- son, offering good prospects for the coming summer. Mike Eberle and Greg Sander headed the batting parade with . 414 and . 413 averages, well- supported by Dave Meyers and Barry Fish with . 333 each. Eberle also scored the most runs, 20, and led in runs-batted-in, 15. Bill Jakubsen QZOJ, Dave Meyers 1143, Tim Reed 1145, and Steve Wildman q14j were other leading scorers. Iakubsen's 14 RBI's and Steve Wildman's 12 backed up in that department. Craig Current paced the mound staff with a 7-1 record. Dan Lawson had a 4-2 record, Craig McNeil won 2, losing 1, and Eberle and Gary Jacobs each won once and lost once. . . . Around Home Plate A young admirer gazes wistfully at three Kings, Newton, Eberle, and Reed, as they gather around the dugout. 13

Mr. Weber Speaks: What makes for a Wonderful Year ? Is it the new friends you have made? The excitement of experiences and honors won? For the seniors, the joy of having completed one more step in their plan of life. For me, That Wonderful Year is each year wherein I see adolescents become young men and women who have a mission in life--young women and men who know the pride of being ladies and gentlemeng each year I see the able, and the not-so-able, young person experience and treasure the knowledge of their success through working, to capacityg each year I see the many who show concern for their fellow man assume responsible leader- ship and followership roles for the best interests of ally each year f I see the student who is enthusiastic about, and contributing to, school spirit and reputation. When all this may be identified in our student body, we know our young people are properly on their mn mg way. Class of 1964--I commend you for these qualities and wish you continued Wonderful Years .
