Cleland, Secretary Harvey G. Berkhouse. Remember when the roof over the audi- torium was being repaired or when the athletic field was undergoing improvements? No doubt you just took it for granted, but actually this was part of the work of the Board of Education. The Board also gives the O.K. signal for trips such as the seniors make to Washington or band and orchestra members to district festivals. Improving the facilities of the school by working with the administration, teachers, custodians, and students so that all can live and learn under the best possible conditions comprise their main duties. Always keeping in mind the betterment of the schools, the Board spent considerable time studying plans for merger with the neighboring schools but so far have taken no action. The seven member board represents many different vocations. Clarence Comes is manager of the local A and P Supermar- ket; Joseph Harre, editor of the Kane Repub- lican; the Rev. Clarence Leslie, pastor of the Lutheran Church; Dr. Charles Cleland, local physician; and Robert Fees, druggist. Tavy Summersgill ' 27, insurance agent, and Harold Johnson ' 38, associated with Olympic Luggage, joined the group this year. Henry Hennell and Gordon Hadfield retired from the Board after serving fourteen and seven years respectively. Mrs. Margaret Longshore School Nurse Dr. J. E. Bovard School Dentist Dr. Milo W.

In and Around Kane High Nature smiled benignly on winter weary students by bringing the joys of spring with her gentle breezes, tender buds, and spontaneous songs of hap- piness from her tiny, feath- ered messengers. K. H. S. took on a new look; winter woes were soon forgotten. National Honor bestowed upon a chosen few the privilege of becoming a part of their select group. In March the junior class netted a handsome profit from Life of the Party, which received very high acclaim. Also around this time white clad figures were seen running around the park, getting them- selves in top condition for the tough track season they faced. Now events happened quickly, the juniors decked themselves as well as the gym in gala costumes and danced to the music of the Blue Knights. Hurri-Kanes made their appearance, and then came the dread- ed day of final exams! These were not so terrible as had been anticipated for most of us were pre- pared. Graduation closed the door on school-day memories but opened the door to the future and whatever it had in store. And finally, that never to be forgotten time that meant the last day of school. (1) Bill Miller helps himself to a lump ol sugar at the NHS tea. (2) Mr. Dill shoots an apple off Dick Johnson ' s head, William Tell style. (3) I don ' t want any more trouble from any of you. (4) Mildred, alias Harriet Wilson, talks with Charles Collier. (5) Max clears the bar at five feet. (6) Van checks off the unknowns. (7) Char, Phil, Bev, and Jo pack shoe-box lunches. (8) Hurri-Kanes again!

■ ' ■ - A Guiding Hand Along the Way GLENNIS H. RICKERT Superintendent Recently a person wrote asking me to verify the fact that she had taught in Kane. She stated, I ' ll never forget the walk through that beautiful park. Many visitors remark on the beautiful surroundings of the school. Those of us who spend years here cannot help but be affected by the natural beauty which the Park holds. Each season elicits a response which charms the observer and gives him good cause to be alive. It is good to be remembered, liked, and enjoyed by old friends and new acquain- tances. We can be, nor need we wait for some season ' s touch. Our charm is under our control. A pleasant mien, a smile, a kindly word, a helping hand, an interest in the other person lend a beauty to the world that transcends all the Park itself supplies. Glennis H. Rickert THELMA BLOOM Secretary to Mr. Rickert Lucky is the student who en- ters the superintendent ' s office and is greeted by Miss Thelma Bloom, a friendly and cheerful secretary. Aside from her secretarial du- ties, Miss Bloom dispenses aspirin to needy persons, acts as a postal clerk, trains an office practice girl, and presents pay checks. 10
