Helping Others Behind every successful school system there must be a body of de- termined and dedicated men and women. Upon their shoulders rests the burden of molding the future generation into a responsible nation fit to cope with the situations of a changing world. More times than we realize, these educators have wondered if their ef- forts were in vain. How can 1 make John understand that he will someday be on his own? What is the best ap- proach? Questions such as these and many others go through the minds of these instructors day after day. In spite of the headaches, back- aches and heartaches that are inevit- able when one is dedicated to a worthy purpose, the administration at MHS has shown its commitment to high ideals. The visible signs of progress should be a small clue to the hidden achievements in this—the greatest in- vestment in the future. 9

These Board of Education members served the Madill School System capably and effectively: James Fricke; R. D. Phillips; E. A. Walker, president; Ernest Dry, superintendent; Ro Jane Gilmore, clerk; Ira Dollar; and B. B. Landgraf, vice-president. Not pictured is Doyle White, treasurer. Among one of his many duties, Superintendent Dry supervised the installation of milk machines in MJHS and MHS. A IHS Was Headed by Capable Board Five elected members devoted much time outside their regular jobs to per- form the important tasks of the Madill Board of Education. The interest of these members was appreciated by the community as well as the students. Their only payment for a job well done is our praise. Among one of the most predominate accomplishments of the Board was the approval for construction of the new vocational agriculture building. It is such improvements as this that enables our school system to improve from year to year.
