Much of the progress which the Mercer Schools has made is due to the planning by the Board of Education. They have an ever present interest in bettering our school and providing improved facilities. It has been through the untiring efforts of the Board of Education that we now have a modern athletic field, lighted for night football games. Let’s not forget the hours of planning and working which have gone into the development of the consolidated district and the new school building, which is soon to be constructed. The board meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month. President M. D. Weaver presides at the meetings. Mr. Albion Bindley is vice president; Mr. A. C. Sproat, secretary; Mr. W.
