School Board Encounters Vital Issues 1974 was a bustling year for the School Board The board and Superintendent Miller responded to many crucial events with the welfare of the students in mind. This year's board members included President Kenneth W School. Vice- President Joseph Tuholski, Secretary Paul Oaks, Dr. Seth S. Philbrook. Howard Ribordy, Vance N. Iselman. and Rosemary Hostetler. The board met on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at the Educational Services Center. The board had the unique responsibility of planning, evaluating, and policy-making for the entire corporation. A great deal of action was handled this year in varying areas. The board gave teachers a 4 salary increase to prevent a strike The energy crunch was sensed in the school system as students felt a slight chill with the thermostats set at 68° Summer school was not affected, but night classes were consolidated to help conserve • energy. Two major projects were being studied by the board and other committees. One was the investigation of a hot lunch program for six elementary schools located within the city limits. Last year, the board set forth the study of a field house to be located at the high school. The field house would increase space for Physical Education, Industrial Arts.
