THE BOARD OF EDUCATION o Engineering our voyage on the sea of education has been the board of education. Since we have started to high school there have been some changes made. Last year a Unit System was established and the new board consisted of representatives from the different districts of the surrounding community which the new system took in. President of the board is William Dab-ler. Mr. Dabler is a plumber and with his brother runs a hardware store in Manlius. Mr. Dabler was a former member of the Manlius grade school board. Asa Drayton is secretary of the present board of education and a former member of the New Bedford grade school board. Mr. Drayton is superintendent of the New Bedford Christian church Sunday school. He is very active in civic affairs. He resides in New Bedford and works in Manlius. Gilbert Thompson farms northwest of Manlius. Mr. Thompson was an active member of the Pleasant Ridge school board for two years before being elected a member of the Unit board. Oliver Nordstrom farms southeast of Manlius. Mr. Nordstrom is from the Hickory Grove district. Howard Hanson farms northwest of New Bedford. He is from the Johnson school district and is very active in the community's affairs. Claude Barber has been an active member of the high school board for a number of years. Because of his experience he was chosen president of the new board when it was formed, but because of ill health he has been forced to resign. These men have been a great help in keeping the school going and we appreciate their work very much since they do it all free gratis. In the spring election a new member was elected, Mr. Glenn Hewitt, and Mr. Drayton was re-elected. We know Mr. Hewitt will do an excellent job along with the rest of the board.
