Those of us who have been sludenfs ai Merchaniville l-ligh School are keenly aware lhal' our Board of Educalion does much more Than hold a monlhly meeling fo discuss school affairs.

Perhaps The Tine service of The Board members is besl summed up in The words of The Evalualing Commiflee: The Board of Educalion ialces an obvious palernal inferesl in The school. There is every evidence of non-pariisan acliviiy on i'rs part Student Advisers High praise musf be given fo Mrs. Marie R. Peniz for her splendid worlr as adviser io girls. Her r diplomaiic slrill and lreen infelligence have been 'K invaluable fo sfudenfs, parenfs, and Teachers. Mr. William R.
