Backed by years of training and experience, Mr. A. E. Wehmeier is well qualified to handle the problems of school administration. He received his high school education in Collinsville and Troy, lllinois, and earned the degree of Bachelor of Arts at McKendree College in the same state. His studies for his Master ofArts degree took place at the University of lllinois, and he did additional work at Colorado State Teachers' College and the University of Missouri. Last summer he continued his studies at Columbia University in New York. Mr. Wehmeier was a mathematics and social studies teacher, coach, principal, and assistant superintendent at various other schools before coming to Jennings in 1950 as principal of the Junior-Senior High Schools. He rose from assistant superintendent to superintendent in 1957. 45 As students move forward to meet life's problems both in school and later out of school, the importance of educa- tion increases. A person's education begins very early in life and moves progressively through the formal education of elementary school, high school and college. However, the most impor- tant tasks of self education, eventually leading to self independence, come with the beginning of a career. 211 5? F16 wi S -5 'Plan Every generation which must solve its own problems every technological achievement which must advance its own cycle, and every change in pattern which is unavoid able in life itself, demand well-rounded, educated persons who can adjust to these inevitables. Our challenge is: Can we move foward and meet these ever increasing demands? A group of individuals who generously donate their time, is the Board of Education. Working under a heavy load of responsibility, the Board meets often to determine the financing, supervi- sion, and management of the schools. Annually, two new members are elected to the Board and serve a term of three years. Thus, the Board always consists of experienced individ- uals guiding its actions. STANDING: Mr. W. C. Braihland, Treasurerg Mr. George L. Weaver, Director, Mr. J. F. Yancey, Presidentg Mr. Al Syrett, Director. SEATED: Mr. A. A. Meyer, Director, Mr. Robert Feld, Secretary.
