THE BOARD OF EDUCATION PYUSidC'I1lf',S Message The school year 1949-1950 was a notable one because it saw the climax to many years of planning for a new high school. The combined efforts of students, faculty, school administrators and the members of the Board of Education to bring the need for a new high school to the attention of the voters resulted in an overwhelming victory for our school system. In presenting the facts, the changing needs of a modern school curriculum were emphasized, as were the desire of the community to have facilities available for cultural and musical events, and a social center for adults as well as our high school population. The need for furnishing rudimentary instruction in those arts and skills which high school students will need in earning their living was also a feature which seemed to appeal to the voters of our district. Accordingly, the school program of the future is being planned along these lines, and we look forward with enthusiasm to the time when we will be occupying the beautiful new building approved by the voters and pictured on the opposite page. -ROBERT S. BUDDY, PI'l'XiII,C'l1f of fbi' Board' of lfzlucafion
