Guiding the policies of the Compton Union Secondary and Junior College school districts through the stormy waters of 1949-50 was the unenvlcd responsibility of these five public servants. Under the presidency of Mrs. Maria Mendonhall of Paramount the board was composed of: Mrs. Clara E. Fox, clerk, of Wiilcwbrook; Mrs. Nola B. Lortis, member from Comp- ton: Charles C. Sekley of Enterprise: Robert D. Tragor, member from lynwood: and Dr. Scott Thompson secretary. Theirs was the huge job of wrestling with the problems of a rapidly expanding school population. In addition, the board had to make unprecedented decisions con- cern ' nq the withdrawal of Lynwood from the district after a school election and the historic reversal of policy on the 6-4-4 plan of organization. What the future holds for tho young people of this rapidly changing district rests in the public-spirited hands of these educational leaders.
