The class of 1944 should be congratulated for publishing the Tiger this year. This annual provides a record of the determination of our community to provide for the future through the education of its youth despite the pressure of history's greatest war. Edwardsville has maintained schools for one hundred and twenty-three years, public schools for eighty years, and a high school since 1864. Our school was the second high school in Madison County to be accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Edwardsville was the home of the first territorial governor of Illinois and was the third town to be incorporated in the state. The Educational Policies Commission maintains that “school attendance until graduation is the best contribution to the war effort which school age youth can make. Through this book, tribute is paid to the members of this school who have stayed with their jobs here in spite of other opportunities and to the community which has made it possible for them to do so. 9

Left to Right: Edward J. Ballweg; Dr. Wayne B. Cox, Secretary; Mrs. M L Burroughs; R. C. Cunningham; E. A. Alexander; J. F. Eeck, President, Harry Hanser This is the body behind the school system of our city, composed of seven members with the purpose of furthering the educational facilities. At the present time the board is very much concerned with the aiding of the war effort and has introduced several new subjects to our curriculum with that interest in mind. It is also deeply concerned with the problems that will confront the educational system in the period following the war. The members of the board are as follows: Mrs. M. L. Burroughs, Mr. R. C. Cunningham, Mr. John Eeck, Mr. Harry Hanser, Dr. W. B. Cox and Mr. E. J. Ballweg. One new member of the board is Mrs. M. L. Burroughs, who is very much concerned with the extra curricular activities becoming a regular part of the curriculum. It is her belief that these activities are needed to round out the education of the American Youth. The board will lose the services of its oldest member, Mr. R. C. Cunningham, when he retires this year. He has served on the board faithfully for the the past sixteen years. Also retiring this year is Major Clyde Fruit, who is serving in the United States Army. Major Fruit has served on the board for the last six years and his services have been of great value to the school system of this city. 10
