4 THE TROJAN BOARD OF EDUCATION The people of Homer District 1 have olaced the direction of their oubllc schools into the hands of five oersons, the Board of Education, elected to serve in the best Interests of the people of Homer and to carry out the required activities and functions prescribed by law. Their service is especially significant among elected officials since they not only administer the ohyslcal oropertles of to-day but by so doing contribute to the training of the citizenry of tomorrow. Any Board of Education at any time shoulders important community resDonsl-bllities. In 1943 the Homer Board stands in a unique position among others that have served Homer. The burning of the building, having occured during a world crisis, has Increased many-fold the magnitude of the problems that would ordinarily oresent themselves after such a oubllc loss. Responsibilities now found in the hands of Homer's elected school officials are further increased by the obligation to plan a building and a program for education after the war. Current changes and military demands quite completely throw normal planning out of balance, and make it extremely difficult and uncertain to establish the tvpe of program and to plan the type of building best suite to future needs. For future students and graduates, Board decisions in 1943 are extremely important. The graduates of Homer are from the farm area around Homer as well as from the village. Records of the District show a consistent membership list from about fifteen to eighteen separate school districts outside of Homer. As far as high school 18 concerned, Homer and its surrounding territory have been a school unit in practice. This school has been Our school to a widely scattered population. This arrangement on a community basis is natural and as it should be. The next immediate problem is to formulate a district up to date in design and adapted to the needs of this area; one in which all parties concerned share in the responsibilities of support and management. Many hours have been and will continue to be snent by Boards of Education in service to the public whose lntereats they represent. By this type of service the American way may best be exemplified and perpetuated.
