A hurried note to the School Board. SUPERINTENDENT . . . What's so funny about a board meet- ing, anyhow? HE HEAD8 THE 8CHOOL 8Y8TEM. Since the passing of the bond issue in the fall of 1966, Superintendent Lechner has had the building program to contend with. Added to this, he also has his duties as negotiator between the school board and the teachers, on matters such as salary. He is exofficial of the school board, which obligates him to be present at all meetings, but does not give him voting rights on board issues which may arise. As administrator he handles all school business. A native of Fessenden, North Dakota, Mr. Lechner considered Forest Lake his hometown, after having lived here for only two years. He received his B.A. degree at Moorhead State, and his M.S. degree at the University of Minne- sota. His spare time, of which there is little, is spent golfing and fishing. Mr. Lechner indicates location of proposed elementary building.

Often they worked late into the night on plans for the new elementary building. These men were elected by our community to serve the school for two year terms.
