Board of Education ELVIN LUNT, Member FRANK WILLIS, Member ALFRED ATTAWAY, President Three-year terms rotate; members serve without pay; budget is hardest problem. Serving on Duncan schools’ Board of Education are three graduates of Dun- can High School. Mr. Elvin Lunt, who has completed half of his first term, is the son of Broughton Lunt, who came to the Duncan Valley in 1916 to farm, and whose sons Elno, Elvin, Irl, Kenneth, and Rudd still farm in the area. In 1898 a young lady came to teach school in Duncan--Miss Nanny Wilshire. In 1900 she married Mr. W. Frank Wil- lis, who later served on the school board, and whose son Frank now is nearing the end of his second term with the board. Mr. Alfred Attaway, now beginning his third term, came to Duncan in 1928, graduated from Duncan schools, and was, in the words of one teacher, ‘‘Best bookkeeping student I ever had.” As owner of Al’s Barber Shop, Mr. Atta- way represents the town merchants, as Mr. Lunt speaks for the farmers and Mr. Willis for the ranchers of Duncan District Number 2. The Board meets on the first Monday of each month and deals with many prob- lems, of which, says Superintendent Brubaker, ‘‘The budget is the hardest. We never know from one year to the next exactly how much our expenses will be, or how much state and county aid we can expect.” An equalization law for county funds makes the latter especially uncertain. Also, aid from both sources is based on average daily attendance. Other items of business for the Board include dealing with problems of disci- pline and policy, and hiring personnel. 10
