Board Directs Physical and Academic Improvements Untold hours of devoted efforts are put in annually by the unsung heroes of the Madill Board of Education. Throughout the year, with patience and understanding, this policy-making group assumes responsibility and sup- ports the interests of the students, faculty, and general public. In order to aid the students’ social and academic endeavors, the board has directed phys- ical improvements such as the remodel- ing of the home economics room, the placing of new glass backboards in the gymnasium, the installing of a new superintendent’s office in the senior high building, the construction of con- crete curbing around the track field, the improvement of the school libraries, and the purchasing of an activity bus. Working for the interests of the Madill youth, the board and other individuals have functioned efficiently and tire- lessly to provide the best possible edu- cational facilities from playground to graduation. The Board of Education is the body which regulates most phases of school operation. Members include R. D. Phillips, Ira Dollar, B. B. Landgraf, E. A. Walker, vice-presi- dent; Rojane Gilmore, clerk; William Flan- agan, president, and Ernest Drv. superin- tendent. Not pictured is Doyle White, treasurer.

Cafeteria workers, Doris Sprouse, Lorene Jackson, Alvina Knight, Zella Mae Johnson, Mittie Coe, Bettve Sandefur, and Bill Stroud, spend many hours preparing delicious food for hungry MHS students. , , , , The close of day finds Fred Shipley and Les Sons, cus- todians, busy cleaning up after Unrecognized Heroes of MHS Much praise is given to the administration and faculty of our school, but little recognition is given to those whose jobs keep our school plant in operation. The Custodians are on duty from the time we arrive in the morning until long after we have departed at the close of day. The food in our cafeteria is prepared by diligent workers whom we seldom see. And never a day goes by that our bus drivers aren’t on duty picking up and delivering their passengers safely. These behind the scene jobs are important to any school, and now we give our praise to those unrecognized of MHS. MHS students. Spending many hours behind the wheel of MHS buses are bus drivers, T. A. Bigger, Cecil Duncan, Dick Rutledge, Grady Nabors, Melvin Goodwin, France Roberts, Herb Hudgens, W. W. Bridgeman, Otis Evans, I. C. Cox, and Kenneth Burris.
