Elected by the people of the Central School District for a term of five years, the board is a legislative, executive, and Judicial body governing the school's ed- ucational welfare. This year two new members take their place on the board. -They are: Mrs. Helen Chadwick who was elected for five years and taking the place of Mr. John Peelle, and Mr. Lawrence Smith who is filling the vacancy left by the death of Mr. Ernest Sproul. The board has purchased a new fifty-five passenger school bus in place of the twelve passenger No. 15, and has acquired as a gift of General Moters Co. and Palmer Chevrolet, lnc. a dual control training car for the pur- pose of letting the Junior and Senior boys and girls become skilled and learned drivers. The board set up a School Safety Patrol through the cooperation of the American Auto- mobile Association to protect our school children on the cross walks to and from the school. Let us be always mindful that the Board of Education is doing its best to help us ob- tain a better education which is so important these days. We owe the members our gratitude, loyalty, and respect for the efforts that they put forth to make us better educated citizens of the world. Laurence J. Smith Vice - President Helen F. Chadwick
