This is one body of men we seldom see as a body official though they are seen frequently at their various places of business. But we know enough to understand that they constitute the governing force of the city schools, are all eminently successful as busiess men, and are decidedly public spirited. Thus we can approach the matter of writing a word about our Board of Education. 'These gentlemen have not only their own affairs to attend to but there is an unusually large amount of public business to be administered. Their duties this year are more extensive and more exacting than they were last year, and it is not unlikely that the next few years will lay even 'greater burdens upon them. iTheir reward will be measured almost wholly by the use the boys and girls make of the abundant opportunities offered by these splendid schools. This year they have the added weight of the High School to carry, and the new Junior to be built. Next year the entire High School system must be revised and run to suit the new conditions. While the im-mediate management devolves upon the superintendent and the principals, still the Board is the base upon which all these operations are worked out. They are the combined executive and legislative system, and ultimately to them we look for that strong, rational ba-cking an aggressive super- intendent and his teachers must have in order in insure the highest type of success. Not only are these gentlemen good business and professional men but they are men of pleasing personality. We sin-cerely hope we will not be misunderstood if we call your attention to the fine group shown on the page opposite. This, as you will readily observe, includes not only the members of our Board of Education but their co-worker, our super- intendent, Mr. Risdon. It is not flattery to say you cannot find a finer group pictured in any book. We think it crudely stating a fact. The class is in hearty accord with our Annual staff in their dedication of this number of The 'Orange and Black to these gentlemen. Eleven Orange and Black 1922 t
