Max, Superintendent; Mr. Zeno Fults, Mr. Earl Glasgow, Mr. Gentry Politte, Mr. Walter Brasket, Mr. Robert Brasket, Vice-President; Mr. H. H. Hanna, President. Acting within the framework of state law, is the duty of the Board of Education to see that schools are operated in the school district. The members of the Board are elected by the people for three year terms and serve without pay. The Board of Education selects the superintendent, and with his help selects the teachers. They decide upon the amount of money to be spent for salaries of teachers and for other school expenses. Much of the continued progress of Crystal's schools is due to the high type of men who have served on it. 6 faculty RICHARD BERRY E. J. CHRISTY Principal Plane Geometry F. T. A.
