Members of the board who may be chosen from any type ot occupation, are elected tor a term of four years by the people of Hutchinson and at the end of this term they are eligible for re-election. Members are not paid for their service. The board performs many duties with the con- sent of the people of the community, such as the employment of teachers, the supervision ot con- structing or repairing school buildings, and the control of finances. Six persons make up the board, which holds its regular meetings on the first Monday ot every month. Special meetings are called when unexpected problems arise. Dr. I. I.

The board employs I. E. Geyer as its clerk. The members of this group have performed many Worthwhile services for the Hutchinson schools. During the past two years the Work on the proposed junior college for which a bond is- sue of 35369500 was voted by the citizens of Hutch- inson has occupied a good deal of their time and attention. ln addition to the college, which is to be located on Plum Street between Eleventh and Fourteenth streets, this project includes the pro- vision of a small grade school building, a combi- nation stadium and dressing rooms, and a recre- ation area tor children. Construction ot the new college has already begun, but the other buildings will be started after school is out this spring. One of the most outstanding members the school board has ever had is A. W. McCandless, president ot the Hutchinson Lumber Company, who was made an emeritus member in 1931. He was presented with a gold H by the high school, and the Allagaroo ol that year was dedicated to him by the staff in recognition ot his active work of fifty years in this school system.
