Like strawbosses, the Board of Education, the principals, and their assistants, helped clear the way and prepare the student for the future. Our strawbosses have much influence in our school careers, because they make the policies which we practice, and offer assist- ance and guidance when needed most. The officers of the Board are: Arthur R. Stark, oil dealer, president, Dr. N. F. Svo- boda, chiropodist, vice-president, and Mrs. A. R. Thomas, prominent Fremont woman, sec- retary. The biggest job confronting the straw- bosses is the planning of a budget. The bud- get is divided into seven divisions: lj general control, 21 instructional service, 31 operation of buildings, 43 maintenance of buildings, 55 fixed charges and debt service, 65 capital out- lay, and 'YJ auxiliary agencies. Highlights of the yearls expenditures inclu- ded the purchase of S1500 worth of pants for the band and new plastic tops for the Senior High library tables. Grade school pupils have already moved into one of the three new, ultra-modern Page 22 schools being constructed. Pupils of North school, moved into the new Clarkson school early in December. Modern features of the new buildings in- clude: blonde furniture, desk tops that can be set at 10 or 20 degree angles, flourescent lighting, green blackboards, automatic temp- erature controls, and an inter-communi- cations system. M. G. Farrow, superintendent of schools, followed the directives of the school board, and overseered the expanding Fremont public school system. Lloyd C. TeSelle, principal of junior and senior high schools, Flossie German, assistant principal of Junior High, and Gerald Meyer, assistant principal of Senior High, spent much of their time helping students with their problems. Doing the unnoticed jobs of typing letters, keeping attendance records, and other gener- al office details, were the secretaries, Doris Hatch, Mary Bell, and Marilyn McPherran. All these people helped make the 1951-52 school term a successful year and played an important role in the development of a sound educational mind.-Marion Hylbak
