Responsible for much of the advancement made is the school board, which has accomplished its business so efficiently that the average student is hardly aware of the machinery which smoothes his path. The board is entirely responsible for the routine Work of hiring faculty, selection of text books, controlling school property, and handling school Finances. Elgin is fortunate in these trying days to be Without financial difficulty in the field of education, In order to cut the membership of the board from 12 to 9 members besides the president, only two men were elected this term to take the place of three retiring members. Messrs. Ralph E. Abell, Lynn McGill, and Paul Schickler are retiring this spring, and will be succeeded by Messrs. Ray Geister and Charles Flora. Dr. O. C. Prideaux, also a retiring member, was re-elected for another three-year term. 13
