ff N E Board of School Directors Meet Monthly to Determine School Policies Contrary to many beliefs, there is no moratorium in education. It is education that has, does, and will make the world progress. The school directors meet on the first Thursday of every month in the council room of the town hall. Upon the shoulders of these seven men falls the task of supervising the education of the children of the people who have elected them, for it is in the hands of these children ---the men and women of tomorrowethat the future of America lies The board of education is subject to regulations by the state, and its duties are def linitely outlined by a school code. Collectively, their duties concern not only the superf vision of school activities, but also matters concerning finances, buildings, grounds, supplies, and curriculum. At the busy session of the school board, vacancies are filled, taxes levied, resignations accepted, and various appropriations granted. Through its efforts, necessary school repairs have been made possible. During the past year improvements were made in the Central school building. Renovations for the Wzishington school building are anticipated, the work to be begun in the near future. Seth Albright and Arthur lobst are the newly elected members to the hoard, replacing the two outgoing members, George Stephen and Albert Wiegiiid, who completed their six year terms. The members of the board are: George S. Harwick, President, Claude H. Keller, Secretary, Edwin L. Muth, VicefPresidentg Robert G. Stauffer, Treasurer, Ralph Weidner, Seth Albright and Arthur Iobst.

Administrators Extend Friendly Advice to Members of the Class of i942 HOWARD J. YEAGER, B. A., M. A. Superintendent I consider your high school education worthwhile if you have learned how to think clearly and how to keep your body fit for your daily tasks. A disciplined mind dwells in a healthy body. The ancient Greeks and Spartans placed a great deal of emphasis upon a perfect body. Nature asks you to observe certain simple health rules: rest, play, and work. These must be balanced or you will pay the penalty. It is regrettable that it takes a national crisis to force into the foreground of our think' ing the need for improving the fitness of our boys and girls. Whose responsibility and concern is the health of the boys and girls? Is it the parents', the school's, the comf munity's or does it rest with the individual? The responsibility may be divided, but I would like to impress upon you that you owe it to yourself and to society to keep fit. M ignuarci Cyeager Anchors aweighl Each member of the class of 1942 is embarking on an important mission in life. What this mission is to be has been determined by each one. This decision determines the course to be followed. We have spent four years in high school, have been exposed to many subjectsg some useful, others not, depending on how well we have studied and how we will apply that which we have learned. Knowledge is no longer sufficient to reach our goal. Good habits, real friends, ability to cooperate with others, honesty, trustworthiness, ability to determine values, ability to analyze situations, and ability to adjust one's self to changing societyethese are compass points to be used in determining our course to success. As we set out, let us determine upon a coursefstraight and true. May the training we have received enable us so to set our sails that neither Wind, wave, nor currents can carry us off our course.
