At the same time the Board rc- quested a superintendents commission for Mr. Ketlerq however, Mr. Ketler resigned, and the Board was forced to find a new superintendent. Out of many applicants, Mr. Harry Herlinger was selected as superintendent. At the same time two more members were placed on the School Board to bring the number of members to 7. In 1933 the Board passed a resolution which stated that Midland was against any legislation which would lead to larger units of administration affecting Midland. The School Board does not wish to givc up its independence. . During the past years the Midland School Board has done much to improve the schools of Midland. They have carried out the four principal responsibilities and objectives of all School Boards. The four are: to raise money, to hire teachers, to maintain buildings, and to improve the education system in any possible way. Surely no one can deny that the Midland School Board has made and helped to make much progress ovcr thc past fifty years. I. Ill i5l - ,,.,. - 4 Amp YVYV A-L-4,iTg YYY A Y - -1-xii.:---Y

The teachers hired in 1907 were Arthur T. Meeder, who was to teach and also act as principal for 380.00 a month, Miss Delores Reed, and Miss Martha Ralston. Before 1957, women that were married were not permitted to teach in the Midland schools. In 1937, a law was passed which per- mitted married women to teach, but did not approve of any woman wearing short skirts or bobbed hair. Since 1907, there have been over 500 teach- ers which have taught in the lVlidland Public School System. Many of our present teachers have lived in Midland all of their lives. There have also been a good many teachers which have passed away while teaching in our fine schools. Miss Mairgaret Hogan, the principal of Fourth Street School, has been a member of the Midland Schools for 40 years. Although she has taught the longest in Midland, there are many others who have been here for many years. Some of them include, Nliss Catherine Rutherford, Miss Ethel Pettit, Mrs. Gertrude Bonzo, Miss Cora VVickline, and Mr. Francis Lamberson. All of these teachers are still teach- ing in the Nlidland Public Schools and we hope that the rest of our teachers can set as good an example as they.
