LISP ELI. ESS PE H. E. HACKMAN The .Baath nf mutation The membership of the Board of Education has changed rapidly in recent years. Not only were the deaths last year of two old and faithful members,lVIr.Noon and lVIr. Skelly, to be recorded and lamented, but during the past year removal from the Tri- Cities has caused the resignation of two other members, ll!Il'. Lindsay and llfir. Dalton, who will no longer serve upon the Board. lVIr. G. A. Wilsoxi, the President of the Board, has served continuously since 1909. His career as President has been marked by expansion of the school in all Cli1'CCti0I1S. Two new buildings, in addition to the Hygienic Institute, have been erected on the High School grounds 3 most extensive alterations of the old buildings have been car- ried out, and many acquisitions of property have been made during his administration, which has been characterized by wise and careful adaptation of means to ends. llir.

Haskins has been Secre- tary of the High School Board since its establishment in 1897. His services as an offi- cial of the Board and as an attorney have been given unstintedly to High School activities and his enthusiasm for the school has been a great aid in pushing to comple- tion many high school enterprises. lVIr. E. Dalton, who also will be missed from the Board membership ,next year, served in his present capacity since April, 1918. He succeeded lVIr.
