THEY GREET YOU Everyone knows our two very efficient oHice girls, Stella Smith and Alice Thomson. Strange as it may seem, neither of these Dixon High School gradu- ates were born in Dixon, or as a matter of fact in our State. Alice graduated from Dixon High School in '36 and has worked in the oHice for two years, while Stella graduated in the class of '31 and has been with us . for six years. FOR BETTER HEALTH I Our school nurse, Mrs. Church, has been with us four years. I-Ier duties include: keeping a health record of each studentg re-admitting students who have been absent, making home calls. T 2 I 5 . . i YOUR BOARD IS EVER FAITHFUL Dixon is very fortunate to have a board of education composed of highly respected and eHicient men who are elected on a special date and who are chosen without regard for their political affiliations. The board is made up of six members who are divided into two committees, the teachers' committee and the building committee. For the past year the members have been Mr. Fred K. Tribou, lVIr. O. VY. Dodd, Dr. David Murphy, Mr. Frank Robinson, Mr. Charles Miller, Mr. Robert VVarner, and the president, Mr. O. F. Goeke. At the April election Mr. Tribou and Mr. Goeke were re-elected to their respective positions, and Mr. James Palmer was elected to fill the vacancy of Mr. Robinson. The purpose of our board is to levy and raise funds and make the schools possible. Among the many things the board has done to improve our school system are completing the Lincoln school, purchasing the property north of the high school, and building a fence around the athletic Held of the high school. The school board receives its power from the General Assembly, which in turn derives its power from state law. The General Assembly shall provide a thorough and eHicient system of free schools whereby all children of the State may receive a good common school education. This state law of Illinois once was interpreted as referring to grade schools alone, but as time went on and high schools became more numer- ous, it soon began to include secondary schools. Now the state of Illinois provides free grade and high schools for all children of the state. In all school districts having a population of from l,000 to l00,000 there is elected a board ofeducation to take charge of the school affairs. This board is composed of six members with three additional members for every additional 10,000 inhabitants. Of these six members, two are elected each year to serve for a term of three years. The president of the board of education is elected annually and holds his ofiice for the term of one year. I-Ie presides at all meetings but has no vote except in case of a tie. The school board has the power Clj to establish and support free schools, C25 to repair and improve school houses, C31 to employ teachers, C-I-J to buy or lease sites for school houses, CSD to employ a superintendent of schools, and C65 to dismiss any teacher when- ever he is not qualified to teach.
