BOARD OF EDUCATION Hancock has been fortunate in having a group of capable progressive citizens willing to serve their community when called uponinado so. Our Board of Education is composed of six members elected for a term of three years each. Two members are chosen yearly so that the work of the group will not be interrupted. The Board must of necessity delegate much authority to others, but upon it fallstheresponsibility for the stand: ards of our schools. It represents the community, and for this reason it must keep abreast of modern educational trends and see that the school puts them into practice. Our present Board of Education is interestedin the wela fare and development of our high school as is evidenced by the new addition which is rapidly'moving to completion. We have enjoyed the newly decorated interior of our building this year, and the cafeteria has been popular. To this en: ergetic group we extend our grateful thanks!
