Kane can now feel proud of its school buildings' heating plants. The gift to the Board from the Class of 1929 took the form of a suitable light installed in the parking area on the High School grounds and has proven a much needed and appreciated improvement. The new storage building joining the rear of the High School building with the boiler house was an improvement of the year and now affords ample space for the storage of the athletic field seats and other equipment. So far as known there had never been a fire loss in any of thc school buildings for the past forty years until last summer when on August ninth a fire broke out in the west entrance of the High School building, and on August twenty-third lightning struck the Welsh Street building. In both instances the Board had almost as much reason to be thankful as the New York Hebrew who was almost overcome with joy when the death of a wealthy father-in-law and a fire in his clothing store happened the same week. It was fortunate that the fire in the High School building was discovered ea1'ly. It had already gained considerable headway and a few more hours would no doubt have partially destroyed the building at least. The bolt of lightning that hit the Welsh Street building with a wallop sufficient to split the rafters and floor joists might easily have caused injury or death but fortunately no one was in the building at the time. A very satisfactory settlement was made with the insurance companies and repairs were completed in time for the opening of school in September due largely to Chas. L. Eckman, Chairman of the Building Com- mittee of the Board, Whose energetic efforts were in no way hampered by the fact that he was literally between two fires most of the time. An outstanding event of the year was the first public appearance of the High School Band at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year since the signing of the armistice ending the VVorld VVar. They can never again appear at such an event involving so many elevens. The band added a pleasing touch to Armistice Day services and many favorable comments were heard on all sides. Other activities of the year included the introduction of a pre-school health clinic, the election of an art teacher for all the schools, the purchase of a fire-proof safe cabinet for the Superinten- dent's oHice, and the usual routine work so essential to the smooth and efficient administration of Kane's public school system.

HARRE The Kane Board of Education is an honor to the school for which it stands, for it is comprised of men and women of character whose only thoughts in prob- lems connected with this institution have been to further its development in any lines in which they see fit, and which are possible for a school of this size. Few indeed are those who realize what amount of thought and time these members must spend in connection with the problems of the school. And, unlike most interests which require so much from the individual, there is no compensa- tion or reward for their untiring efforts, except the thanks from the pupils of the school and the citizens of the town in appreciation of their services. May this paragraph, then, be a recognition of service to these directors, who have met the arising problems with commendable foresight, and directed our school in this efficient manner. V. B. B.
