These men, fully conscious of the tremendous responsibility that is theirs, convene once each month to trans- act business and discuss school problems. Although the problems are many and varied, each is considered with equal attention. This, the first postwar year, found the school with a shortage of teachers. lt was through the efforts of the Board that these vacancies were filled. Then, too, they were responsible for the painting of the various class rooms. The work on the new recreation field was pushed ahead in the hope that next year's football games may be played there. Aside from these tasks many regular duties such as accepting resignations, pur- chasing school supplies, and approving changes in the curriculum were diligently handled. Throughout the year the service of these five men is available to all students and teachers. lt is their aim to help the students to improve and to succeed. Our Board of Education members are not only respected by the students but are also considered friends who show a great interest in school activities. We extend to Mr. C. A. Noel and Dr. J. W. Updegraff, who were reelected in November, congratulations. The students and faculty, who are fortunate enough to have our leadership placed in such firm but tolerant hands, wish to make known their appreciation for the capable management of their charge.
