1? DR. JAMES MAXEY President MRS. STELLA HUTTON Secretary M R. HAROLD PETTIT Treasurer M R. RAY GU LLIVER Trustee MR. JACK DAVIDSON Trustee MR. JOHN SIBLEY Superintendent of schools In a figurative sense, the board members may be thought of as the lock- smiths who make and repair our locks and fashion the keys. Along with Mr. Sibley, they decide the school policies and provide personnel and equipment. Five representative citizens, prominent in business, industry and the pro- fessions, comprise the board. The group is an alert and cooperative one, always working for the best interests of E.R.H.S. They are satisfied that the school is functioning efficiently, and they feel we have a good faculty, one in which every teacher is attempting to do the best possible job. They are immediately concerned with keeping up the equipment, having bought a new unit for the badly over-taxed heating plant, redecorated the high school and helped with the flood lights for the football field. They have furnished the Home Economics department with a new stove, and the English and history departments with new maps. lly buying new equipment, repairing the old and hiring a well trained faculty, the board members have made our locks secure. VVe hereby express to them our heartfelt gratitude. l 5
