Welsh, vice presiaent; Martha B. Agler, president. Board of Education Works Toward Welfare of Students The Board of Education acts as a legislative body for the school and with the assistance of Mr. Timmons studies and develops policies for the school system. As we returned to school we noticed the remodeled high school office, the freshly painted walls, and the repaired desks. The Board had authorized all of these improvements. This year for the first time adult evening classes were organized. Spanish courses, bridge, sewing, art, and cake decorating lessons were offered to the public. These classes were held one night a week for eight weeks. They were of- fered twice during the year. In addition to courses the Board again approved the adult recreation program. The Board of Education is responsible for the budget. It is in charge of all funds and all money going out of the school. It approves recommendations made by the superin- tendent and principal. It is also responsible for employing teachers and custodians, deciding employees’ salaries, buying new books, taking the school census, and approving the year’s calendar. The members of the Board meet on the third Wednesday of each month and serve “without pay.”

Ralph D. Beery Principal geigadeg (é hax eheeee tagl Happiness . . . the pursuit of, was made a national institution in 1776. Happiness can be many things to many people. To children it may be “dressing sloppy anytime you want to” or “a pair of warm furry slippers on a cold winter night” or as a well known book is titled, “Happiness Is A Warm Puppy.” To adults, happiness comes from purposeful living. Someone has said that the Hallmarks of the truly educated are discipline, responsibility, and wisdom. If adults have these Hallmarks, then their happiness depends to a great extent on the thoughts and attitudes they distill out of these ingredients. Happi- ness relies to a high degree upon the habit of mind people cultivate. The book of Proverbs tells us “ .. . he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Best wishes to the class of 1964! foiipae ey 17
