A'- ' 1 . .. Ts? NL BOARD OF EDUCATION: Mr. T. H. Lyon, president, Mr. Clifford Rowe, secretory: Dr. J. R. Maxey, treasurer, Mr. Roy Sprague, trustee, Mrs. Eftie Fuller, trustee, Mr. M. J. Beiser, superintendent. Administration Charged With Education ot All Youth Five popularly-elected Eaton Rapids citizens com- prise the Board of Education. Superintendent M. J. Beiser and the board members have provided for many necessary improvements during the past year. Due to an increased enrollment, five new class rooms were made available and two additional teachers were hired. The average class enrollment in the upper elementary grades is now reduced to thirty students. ln order to accommodate the transporta- tion needs of 550 rural students, two buses were purchased which raised the fleet total to twelve. A study ofthe community and rural problems was made by interested residents of the area to de- termine whether or not the educational program could be more eFticiently and economically oper- ated. This might eventually lead to school district reorganization. Superintendent M. J. Beiser and Mrs. Charlotte Smith, secretary. ff... To support more adequately the expanding athletic program, the tiled area ofthe athletic field was leveled and the tennis courts were resurfaced. Additional property was purchased adiacent to the Technical Arts building where a community skating rink was constructed. Endeavoring to improve high school functions, Principal C. L. Luce strives to augment the value of existing organizations and programs. This year he enlarged the duties of the Student Council, con- tinued an orientation program for new rural stu- dents, helped to plan the annual county college night, increased the counseling and information service for seniors, and worked toward broadening the school curriculum. The most important aim of the administration, however, is to instill in each student the qualities of dependability, responsibility, and genuine citizenship. Principal C. L. Luce and Mrs. Doris Squires, secretary.
