FREDONIA CENTRAL SCHOOL BOARD LRF? finest., 4 kvrkkkr T Howard Holliday, Loren Webster, George Grant, Leslie Straight, Florence Anderson, Glenn Hunter, Douglas Gormley. Education in Athens was not compulsory from a legal point of view, but public opinion insisted that all male citizens should be educated. The only edu- cational provision in our Athenian law was that any son to whom an education had been denied did not have to support his father in old age, as other sons did. We Greeks have set a high value on education. That is one reason we are so interested in touring Fredonia Central High School. We have just been introduced to the members of the Board of Education. They are: Mr. Glenn Hunter, a businessman, Mrs. Florence Anderson, a housewife and part time bookkeeper, Mr. Leslie Straight, a mink farmer, Mr. Howard Holliday, a iewelerp Mr. Loren Webster, an accountant, Mr. Douglas Gormley, a metallurgist, and Mr. George Grant, a farmer. This group is representative of the people in the surrounding area. These capable board members, we are told, work together with the principal and the superinten- dent of schools to see that there are sufficient building facilities, teaching personnel, and equip- ment. We understand that, due to the recent centralization, there will have to be a new school built. This project will require great cooperation among the board members, people of the school district, and administration of the school. Judging from what we have seen of these people and the reports of their good work in the past, we believe that they will do the job very competently. We congratulate the Board of Education at Fredonia Central High School on the fine work which they have been doing to promote the education of the younger generation.
