BOARD BACKS BOND ISSUE ITH the approval of the placing of a bond issue for a new school, the Doylestown School Board went on record during the past year for having brought about and actually supported one of the most important movements for many years. Their efforts effected a public vote of six to one in favor of the bond ISSUE. Since the publication of The Torch last year, the Board purchased four ad- ditional acres for the new school site and also approved a Contract for the grading of a large part ot the entire site. Approval has been given by the board for the purchase of some new cafeteria equipment and a number of machines to be used in instruction. Other matters under consideration are the construction of a fire escape and the operation of a public kindergarten. One of the members of the board, who was very much interested in the bond issue and who did much to further its cause was Mrs. Lucille Schenk, whose resignation became effective in March in order that she might join her husband in Indiana, where he has gone into business. Mrs. Schenk, a board member for two years, was appointed visiting school director because of her experiences as a class room teacher. Up until her resignation last month she conducted a private kindergarten in Doylestown. During her two years on the Board, Nlrs. Schenk was always an enthusiastic supporter of needed changes and one who strongly favored a substantial increase in salaries for teachers. Reluctantly the faculty and students accepted the news of her departure. A SCHOOL BOARD: MR. SATTERTHXVAITE, Mu. CA1zwrrm:N, Mu. Mrrcu. Mus. Scmcmi, Mu, Rosimumizol ie WR Buwrixo. 11
