Hoard of Education MR. J. M. BURGE MR. STEVE LUCUS MR. L. E. HALE MR. RUPERT FOGG MR. MARION WATSON President Vice President Member Member Member The El Reno Board of Education has been named one of America’s outstanding school boards in a poll of state superintendents, state school board officers and professors of school administration. This distinction was announced through the Department of Education of Col- umbia University, New York. As such, it has been asked to describe and identify practices in use that make it exceptionally strong. Board of Education members receive no salary. They work for the joy of the working and because they believe that education offers us our chief hope for the survival of our dem- ocratic institutions. During the school year 1950-51, the following officers and members served on the El Reno Board of Education: Mr. J. M. Burge, president; Mr. Steve Lucus, vice president; Mr. Leonard E. Hale, Mr. Rupert M. Fogg and Mr. Marion Watson, members. Mr. Lucus is sen- ior member of the Board in point of service, having served continuously since 1941. Mr. Burge became a member of the Board in 1942, Mr. Hale in 1945, Mr. Fogg in 1946, and Mr. Watson in 1951. In their private lives these men set a splendid example for young people. Their willing- ness to work for the public welfare without personal reward or glory is in itself an example to youth. page six
