Unification adds new members to dedicated board JIM WILSON QUENTIN LEECE CLARENCE LOOMIS CLYDE REED-PRESIDENT DON WALKER BILLY CONNOR Superintendent Southwestern St., Ok. B.S. M.E. Unification brought many marked changes to our school system, including the addition of three members to the Board of Education in the form of representatives from outlying districts. New, varied problems and challenges faced this group which works many hours for the improvement of school facilities and better correlation between the school itself and its officials. Superintendent Connor worked closely with these men in all areas of school projects and difficulties, with much time given to the construction of the new high school. Work began last fall on the new high school complex in the outskirts of town. The athletic fields are to be ready for use by the fall term of the coming year; while the actual const- ruction of the buildings is to be com- pleted in time for use by the second school semester. Unified District 0278 will soon have the finest scholastic and athletic facilities in this area which will be a source of pride for all those in our district and community. NELSON KEELER The board and Mr. Connor discuss blueprints for the new school.

Each day throughout the year, the members of this dedicated group provided a source of knowledge and inspiration for all students and worked to instill their personalities as well as their minds, with attributes they felt would be beneficial to them in life. Mr. Roberts, as counselor, helped students who desired a path of higher education to follow make a wise decision and offered advice concerning the problems any student encountered. This faculty was the vital mechanism of school life and gratitude cannot fully be expressed in any manner for the many services and hpurs of their time that were devoted to the students of Mankato High.
