The Board of Education ,T lS not often that l-ligh School classes think of the Board of Education as having a personal connection with them, Members are voted for once a year by the students' parents, that is the only time a majority of students think of the Board. lt is time that students realized that this organization really is inter- ested in them. If it were not for the Board, there would not be the efficient teachers and the supplies that are better than those of a great number of other schools. On March I4, the Collingswood School Board reorganized for its fiscal year. Mr. Charles Kloss, Jr. was elected president for the fourth year. Dr, l-lorace Woolston is vice-president. For thirteen years Mr, l-l, Milton Restrick has been District Clerk. There are two new members on the Board this year, namely, Mr, George Biershenk and Mr. Matthew Van Istendal. The other members of the board are: Mr, Seaford Jackson, Mr, Benson I.. Barron, Mr, Charles J. Reese, Mrs. Alma Lofft, Mrs. Eva Kachline. The following are among the many committees which are organized annually to give the students further advantages: Committees for Property, Teachers, Supplies, Finance, Publicity, Athletics, Books and Curriculum, and Band. An expression of appreciation is offered to the Collingswood Board of Education at this time for all that has been done to make school days more enjoyable, Nine
