SWOOD HIGH SCHOOL VITAL part of any school system is its Board of Education. Collingswood is particularly fortunate in having a School Board composed of nine very alert and interested members, Mr. Charles Kloss, Jr. heads this organization which carries on its work through committees. Each member is chairman ot at least one committee and serves on two or more others. These progressive committees are responsible in a large part for the high rating ot Collingswood High School. Early in the school year of l936-l937 the members of the Board and the com- munity were saddened by the passing of Mr. Seaford Jackson who had served the schools faithfully tor six years.
