This year, the Board had the responsibility of inaking a budget for the proposed CXPCIX- ditures required to maintain the school pro- grain in athletics, debate, and orchestra. They also executed the equally hard task of keeping the organizations within the allowance set up. Regular meetings of the Board were devoted to examining and classifying the expenditures of the month. The year ended with all accounts in good order. the organizations within their respective budgets, and the books well balanced. This work has been carried out by the six members of the Board, including two repre- sentatives froin each of the three upper classes. under the line direction of Mr. Smith. Mr. Price, and Mr. llill.
