Q ilinrmnnrh As in the medieval period and the time of the Crusades, we are still cru- sading for an ideal of education. The admin- istration and faculty have pledged themselves to mankind as the men of old gave homage to their lords. Today We have a brighter outlook on education. We believe in teaching cultural courses as well as the practical arts which made up a major portion of education in medie- val times. By passing on the flaming sword of education, a World Without conflict can be brought about.

VViI:5on, Noali Holmes, Iames Schnopp, Robert Hotznockur, The Kane Area Ioint School Board, or- ganized only two years, has proven that consolidation of schools can be a smoothly run, efficient operation. The jointure is di- vided into six districts consisting of Kane Borough, Mt, lewett Borough, Hamilton Township, Highland Township, Sergeant Township and Wetmore Township. Each dis- trict has its own council, whose job it is to take care of matters such as transportation and up-keep of buildings in their own dis- trict, and to discuss problems to be brought before the joint board. All district boards meet the first Monday of each month. The combined boards are too large to be effective, so the actual management of the jointure is directed by a board of fifteen members, with one or more representatives from each district. The officers of the board are Robert K. Fees, president, Ralph H. De- Carnp, secretary, and Gustav Olson, treas- urer. The board consists of Mr. Fees, Harold lohnson, Tavy Summersgill, Clarence Cornes and Dr. Charles Cleland, Kane, Clyde Gil- fert and C. Evert Iohnson, Hamilton Town- ship, Evan E. Christy and William Cochran, Highland Township, Walter H. Swanson and Harlan Danielson, Mt. Iewett, Noah H. Holmes, Sergeant Township, and Alan Van- tine, Ansel Nelson and Francis A. Gausman, Wetmore Township. In memory of Ioseph M. Harre, board president who died last Iuly, the Board unanimously decided to give an award, the Ioseph M. Harre Award, to the senior who contributed most in community service. The fund is to be maintaind by Voluntary con- tributions, with the first senior getting one- tenth of the fund, the next year one-ninth, etc. for ten years. By that time the last Harre child will be graduated from school, and the last senior will receive all the remaining money. In addition to its normal business, the board this year elected Paul Miller to suc- ceed Glennis Rickert as superintendent of schools and chose Robert A, Lowry to re- place Mr. Miller as principal. Also, the board learned many of the headaches involved in planning to build a new unit as plans for a junior high school were drawn up and ap- proved by the state. Actual building will probably get underway as soon as a proper site is chosen and approved.
