HOWVELL, SR All of us are proud of .the five men who are the present members of our Board of Education. Each is a busy man in his own field, yet he gives to the connnunity and its younger generation many hours of what could be time for recreation, travel, and leisure to be with and enjoy his family. The job is not a nine and three-quarters month job but one continuing throughout the Iifty-two weeks of the year. In our rapidly growing community the build- ing program takes many hours for conferences, inspection trips, and local meetings. But when a task is completed the residents of the district know it has been well done, be it the task of VVILLIAM H. MORRISON, M. D planning the budget, the erection of an addition or an entirely new building, or the hiring of the faculty members for the succeeding year. Before this 1954 ECHO is distributed the contracts for the VVhigvi1le Elementary Building will be let and, we hope, the construction work will be under way. But even these twenty rooms will be overflowing by the fall of 1955, when the building is expected to be ready. A myriad of details on diverse subjects receive the necessary attention ol these versatile men,-an engineer, a banker,a business man and two physicians. To each of you we say, Thank you for everything. 'll
