STANDING: Dr. Leroy Hood, Erhart, Presidentg Lloyd Haag, Helen Reed, Secretaryg Superintendent of Schools, John Burnside, Paul Masoner. Foundahon for EducaHon Without the Board of Education, the school would be as a tree without a trunk. lt would be unable to grow, to develop, and to improve in its purpose. This body, composed of loyal, in- terested parents, teachers, and citizens of the community is undoubtedly the bulwark of in- genuity in performing many tasks. Such an important branch of the school system must not be slightedg for within this body lies the complete functioning power of the school system. The students indeed owe great respect to a body so active in adhering to the aid and the support of Garden City High School.

TN-L Dr. Hood does many things in addition to serving as Superintendent of Schools. Here we see him meeting with Bob Jones, Student Council President, Tom Saffell, High School Principal, Ross Blackford, Rotary Club, Wayne Taylor, Boy Scout Executive, and Chief Geisler, to make plans for a Halloween party for the youth of Garden City. A and B Team cheerleaders, with sophomore football players, look on as Dr. Hood leads the student body in their ever-popular yell, Rock 'em, Sock 'em. Mr. Jellison Pays Tribute The dedication of the 1961 Buffalo to Dr. Hood is a fine tri- bute to the job he has done for education in Garden City for the last five years. His continuous concern for every facet of the school system has paid off in a first class educational exper- ience for the children and the youth of Garden City. Many things have contributed to his success. But one attribute stands above all of the rest as the key to his leadership. ltis his sincere concern and interest in the welfare and activities of those working with him. He adds the personal touch to educational ad- ministration through becoming acquainted with not only his teachers and administrators but also with their families. I am proud to have worked with him. My only regret is that this association was not for a longer period of time. Bill Jellison Mr. affell Pays Respect lt is indeed fitting that the 1960-1961 yearbook be dedicated to Dr. Leroy Hood. Ihave worked with Dr. Hood only a few months, but in those few months I have found that he is one of the top educators of the Mid-West. He has done a magnificent job with the schools of Garden City, and the patrons of the Community should be proud of his efforts and accomplishments. This com- munity takes a back seat to none in its educational program. Dr. Hood is a dedicated man who wants the best for the young people in this community. ljoin the yearbook staff members in a salute to this fine man. ' Tom Saffell
