Board ol Education Helped Build Tomorrow's Citizens by Janet Prather Keeping the Kearney school system on top in the field of education and leading its students on to better citizenship . . . this was the job well done by the Board of liducation this year. These men gave of their time and talents so that we students could have the best in equip- ment, guidance and training. They know that out of a good education system come the good citizens of tomorrow, and it was toward this goal that they put forth their best efforts. Many problems and difficulties came up during the year, but after careful discussion and con- sideration a solution was always found. .Ks always the members of the board were invested by the people of Kearney with the responsibility of educating the youth of the city. They were constantly striving for the better- ment and improvement of our school system. The main task of the school board this year was the planning of the elementary school buildings project, now nearing completion. The purchase of equipment and fixtures took up a great deal of time at the boards regular month- ly meetings. After several years of planning and work, they hope to have the satisfaction of seeing all three new elementary schools open next September. .-Xlso an insurance program for the protection of individual pupils was offered to the students for the first time this year. During the sum- mer much was done on the building repair pro- gram to help raise the quality of the Kearney schools. The school board prepared the budget for the year, approved expenditures and handled other financial problems. 'l'heir job was also to elect teachers, fill vacancies in the teaching positions and approve the curriculum. School board members this year were Nlr. joe H. lilliott, presidentg Mr. .loseph Poyn- ter, secretaryg and Dr. R. M. tlilmore, Mr. George Munro, Dr. Harold Smith and Nlr. Rus- sell Ferguson. Mr. Everett Randall served as school attorney. XYorking with the board and carrying out their decisions was Superintendent of Schools Paul Morris. lt is with pride that we point to Mr. l'oyntcr and Mr. lflliott who were chosen by the Cham- ber of Commerce as the two outstanding citizens in the community, due partly to their work on the school board.
