As head of the English department and adviser to the Tattler and National Honor Society, Miss Marian E. Elliott influences many phases of high school life. We shall always remember with gratitude her patience in scheduling and re- scheduling our half-year English IV courses. Since her Journalism class .prepares a column, containing current high school news, which appears each week in the Ithaca Journal, Miss Elliott has an active interest in all school activities. She spends many hours working with the Tattler staff. No matter when the deadline or what the problem, she is always ready to assist. When discussions arise, Miss Elliott is the source of authority, whether the topic be Shakespeare, the Cleveland Indians, or school affairs. Our scholarships and our plans for future education are of great interest to Miss Elliott. She gives hours of her time to help us with applications or to write letters of recommendation. She laughs with us, she sees us through a crisis. To our friend Miss Elliott we dedicate the 1957 Annual. 6

Board Of Education Plans Schools Ithaca's Board of Education, headed by Dr. William L. Gragg, assisted by Dr. Leonard C. Buyse and Mr. John Skawski, prepared an eleven million dol- lar school bond issue for ap- proval by the taxpayers in Itha- ca's consolidated school district. The plan included a five-and-one- half million dollar high school including fully equipped class- rooms and a gymnasium with swimming pool. Providing that the old high school was sold, a junior high would be erected in the Belle Sherman area. Four grade schools would be built in the county. WHCU and WTKO helped to inform the public of the Board's plans. Members of the Board were among those who took part in the broadcasts. Because the bond issue Wasn't approved in February. the Board of Education reworked their plans in order to gain taxpayer support for another bond issue vote in May. Mr. Skawski, Dr. Gragg, and Dr. Buyse review drawings of the new school. 8
