The Superintendent also wishes to thank the teachers, custodians, clerks, and other school employees for the ex- cellent and superior services rendered HNENIY in the solution of important administra- tive prohlems. Max' we all forever rememher that what is put into the education of youth is not a cost to a community, hut rather an investment for itself in its own future welfare. Mr. I. G.

,Q f SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS RALPH L. BUSH GEORGE W. HAVENS A. RAY KYLER JOHN M. SMUCKER PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT' SECRETARY DR. WILLIAM B. WEST FRED B. BAYER SAMUEL R. SHINGLER BUILDERS OF OUR EDUCATION The Board of Education of Hunting- don High School is the legislative body of our school system. The members of this organization are the citizens who work behind the scenes for the advance- ment of education in this area. As we went through Huntingdon High School, we watched the physical plant change in size and in appearance. We saw a beautiful athletic field rise from a swamp, and the walls of our class- rooms and gymnasium change to a bright appearance from the usual drab color. These are only a few things which the Board of Education has done for the students of our school. Despite the teacher shortage and the deficiency of classroom material, this group has secured a capable roster of instructors and a wealth of text books to guide our study. Through the efforts of their Presi- dent, Dr. William B. West, the advice of their attorney, Mr. W. B. Simpson, and the co-operation of the Adminis- tration, the board members have done everything in their power to step up the athletic program, enlarge the educa- tional set-up, and provide recreation for the students. just as they have understood our problems and have helped us to prepare for them, we are fully cognizant and appreciative of their efforts.
