THE BCDARD OF EDUCATICN The Board of Education of the Derry Borough Schools is composed of five of the foremost citizens of our community. They are Mr. Roy M. Myers, Mrs. W. B. George, Mr. H. Miller, Mr. Charles J. Hammer, and Mr. W. Scott Plummer. Mr. Roy M. Meyers was elected president, Mrs. W. Bruce George, vice presidentg Mr. Harry M. Miller, secretary. The First National Bank acts as treasurer, Mr. J. Fred Kuntz being the active treasurer. The Board meets on the first Monday of every month to dis- cuss the affairs that are vital to the youth of Derry and to the administration of the schools. When President Roy M. Meyers raps for order, the meeting is olhcially opened. With the recording of the names of the directors present, the minutes of the previous meeting are read and approved, and any unfinished business attended to. This Board occasionally appoints standing committees. It has always been able to function harmoniously as a whole and, at the same time, expedite its work. When there is need of a committee or committees, President Roy Meyers has the power to appoint them. The Board has control of all affairs that deal with improve- ments of the schools, for example, it was in charge of the recent addition to the high school building. Our respects go to Mr. A. C. Swartz, who also donated much of his time in the preliminary work of securing the recent gov- ernment grant in connection with the new addition. The Derry Board of Education should also be commended for providing an outstanding educational program at a minimum cost to the local taxpayers. This is evidenced by the fact that the facilities have been ever improving, yet the tax millages have been much lower than in most cities and towns. THE 1937 DERRIAN 187
