It is composed of five townsmen in whose hands many of the major problems of the school rest. This group of men, cooperating with the supervising principal, is extremely important for the function of our school. Always planning new methods of improving our school, this Board of Directors works diligently preparing the budget, purchasing the school sup- plies, regulating tuitions and electing teachers. These are only a few of the duties that confront them. . An up-to-date organization, our Board has loyally and honestly devoted its time to the cause of advancing the school that is theirs and ours. In view of their fine work as administrators of our school We wish to ex- press our gratitude to all members concerned. President Ferd C. Sylvester Vice-President Curtis C. Allshouse Secretary James H. Caldwell Treasurer C. J. Earl Tarr
