Wm LYONS pm s. o. WRIGHT, seay HARRY HOLMES MAXWELL CRAWFORD PROMINENT PROGRESSIVE MEN OF COMMUNITY ELECTED TO PROMOTE ADVANCEMENT OF MILFORD TOWN- SHIP HIGH SCHOOL Signifying their interest in the development of education in Milford, men of this community have, in past years willingly accepted membership on the successive school boards, the organization most essential to the progress of the school. This group has as its objective the uplceep of the school building and its fix- tures, the direction of a course of study and the selection of capable instructors. The successful attainment of this objective leads to the awakening of the interests of the citizens and students in the school as an institution, involving the cur- riculum and athletics, as well as the establishment of various other organizations. The current school board, which was elected by popular vote, holds its meet- ings on the first Monday of each month. The members of this board include prominent, active and retired business men and agriculturalists, who represent the community at large. The business of the school is carried forward under the direction of our able President William Lyons, who has spent most of his life in and around Milford. He has served on several of our school boards and has successfully completed this year in spite of many difficulties. In close co-operation with him is Secretary S. O. Wright, a man well informed in the taslc of running schools, for not only is he acquainted with schools in the THOMAS LOVELESS EARL SMITH Wm, HASSELBRING

U. S. A. but he has taught in the Philip- pines for a number of years and has made a study of educational conditions in many lands. The other five members of the board carry out the decrees of the entire board in the manner best adapted for the bene- fit of all concerned. Harry Holmes is very much interested in M. T. H. S. since he himself is an alumnus. He can be seen rooting hearti- ly at all athletic events. He carries on his share of the duties of the board with the same vim which has won so many friends for him in Milford. Quite a well known young man, both because of his musical ability and because of his public works is Maxwell Crawford. He represents the rural districts of our community quite ably. Much of his in- terest is due to the fact that not so long ago he was a student in M. T. H. S. Principal Thomas B. Loveless has served on many school boards. He is quite an institu- tion around Milford in connection with the school and its activities, having gone to M. T. H. S. when it was in its babyhood . He is now an active member of our board and of the executive committee of our Alumni Association. Another old faithful is Earl Smith. Although he was not closely connected with the school in his early life, he has been taking an active interest for a num- ber of years past. William Hasselbring is the handy man of the board. Whenever we find a leak in the roof or anything like that we call on Mr. Hasselbring. He comes running across the street and before you know it everything is ship shape . He also is quite musical, so, if sometimes sweet music is heard atop M. T. H. S. you'll know it's Mr. Hasselbring. Each of these men eagerly backs all measures for the good of M. T. H. S. and through their united efforts we can observe the progress our school has made this year. Upon Superintendent Vernon L. Plummer falls the responsibility of convey- ing the necessary decisions and decrees of the school board to the faculty and stu- dent body. In order to accomplish this end he must work with the board and help them in all possible ways. In evidence of their co-operation, M. T. H. S. has to its credit another successful school year.
