BOAIRID OIF lEIDUCATICP W HE government of the school board can easily be compared with the gov- ■ J ernment of the Linited States in that Mr. Mason acts as president and the five members of the board make up the law-making body. This group of clear thinking, civic minded men decides on and passes any laws dealing with the public schools of Canton. Some of its important duties are to determine the vacation days, length of school year, salary of teachers, and all expenditures. A majority vote is required to pass a law. Each member of the non-partisan board is elected by public vote for a term of four years. Twice a month this group meets to settle any new problems that may have arisen since its last meeting. We, the people of Canton, have something to be proud of in our schoolboard. The Canton Public School system is noted for its fine management and ability to keep school affairs running smoothly. Few people realize the service rendered by this group during the depression. Due to its high efficiency, the Canton schools pulled through without any loss of education to the Canton school children. Our system of school management is recognized as one of the most competent in the entire state. May Canton always have such a valuable asset.

SIUIPIEIRIir« TIEr lDIEP T JESSIE IH. MA,S( W HE MOST difficult task which faces a young man after graduation is that ■ l J of selecting a life work that will prove interesting and successful; the next task is to excel in this work. Mr. Mason was at one time facing such a problem as we are. First he made his choice; then he set out to fulfill this ambi- tion. His profession requires the highest type of character, the greatest love and patience toward children, an insight into the minds of men, and the ability of a leader. For Mr. Mason these requirements are not hard to meet. Our community boasts a superintendent with each of these characteristics, yet he remains unassuming, willing to bear responsibilities easily and evenly. The burden of the public schools rests not as a heavy weight upon his shoulders, but as a duty which he performs un- derslandingly and sympathetically with the hope of bettering education in Canton.

IF A C U L T ¥ DOT ONLY do the students contribute to the high scholastic standards at Lehman, but a great part is due to the sincere endeavor of the faculty. It is through the efforts of the faculty, as a whole, that the students have achieved honors in varied fields. Teachers have given precious moments that have increased into hours with the years, to giving advice and instilling in the students the fire to do. They have lessened the tedious hours of compulsory exercise, and have added a lighter touch to the optional work, with always but one aim in mind: to boost Lehman through its students as instruments. With high school days come many joys and many sorrows — all of which are greatly shared by parents, but there is one portion which only teachers can rightly appreciate. In these matters, however great or small, the faculty of Lehman has always participated and indulged the students with a ready willingness and spon- taneous sympathy. Let it then be said that these people are our veritable school parents. Through the office door I. W. DELP. Principal The bulwark of Lehman ' s greatness. A. B., Miami; M. A., Akron.
