S an amateur artist must have expert instruction and guidance before he produces his masterpiece, so our school must have great master artists to guide us and mold for us the plan for our school life, our design for living. This very necessary and important function belongs to our Board of Education. It is to Mr. Weinar, our president, and the other members of the Board of Education that we owe many of our privileges here in school They have provided us with a beautifully equipped building, fine teachers, excellent courses of study, and a large number of extracurricular activities. The Board has allowed us to go on field trips to illustrate and supple- ment our knowledge and understanding of our school courses. To insure our safety they instituted a course in driver education and provided for two classes of swimming each week at South Park, one for beginners and one for advanced students . The members gave their permission for the Student Council to allow the students to govem themselves and to allow us to prepare ourselves for the future by gaining experience in student govemment. We wish to express our thanks and appreciation for all the Board of Education has done for us, not only in the past year, but all dur- ing our years at Eden Central. The entire district is deeply grateful for the new grade school. Discussing plans for new grade school. Pres. . . Vice Pres. . Clerk . Treas. . Principal . . Ass't Principal Members . .
