BOARD OF DIRECTORS - Mr. Harold Blid, Mr. Edward C. Bowden, Dr. Clifford B. Bryce, Dr. Robert H. Heft, Mr. S. H. Hirshberg, Mr. Harry P. Helmstadter, President Mrs. Lucy Lee Jones, Mr. Charles H. Starr. Not in picture: Mr. William J. Cox. They Set llur Policie If it were not for the able assistance and guidance of the Board of Directors, the Mc- Keesport schools would not be functioning with their usual good coordination. It is to them that Dr. Lawson and Dr. Travis make reports of their duties and progress. The board has the power to appoint and dismiss all teachers and officers in the school dis- trict, to levy and collect taxes for the good of the school and to fix the school calendar for the year. Establishing new departments like distributive education and beauty culture is another of the privileges of this group. The school board also has the power to pick sites for new school buildings and the directors must give permission for the estab- lishment of activities and organizations. They regulate athletic activities such as tennis and basketball and musical festivities such as operettas and concerts. They have direct con- trol over publications such as The Red and Blue and Yough-A-Mon, besides such or- ganizations as Y-Teens and Hi-Y. The Board of Directors elects its ofiicers each year at the annual reorganization meet- ing at Shaw Avenue School. This year Mrs. Lucy Lee Jones, being nominated by Mr. Starr, was elected as the new president of the Board. She succeeded Edward C. Bowden, who retired after several years of efficient leadership and service. Mrs. Jones is the first woman president to be chosen by the board since Mrs. Elisabeth H. Newlin held the oflice in 1947. Elected to the position of vice-presi- dent, William J. Cox, Jr., succeeds Mrs. Lucy Lee Jones.
