DEDICATION The senior class of 1947 dedicates the Signet to the men from Mineola High School who have given their lives in the recent fight to preserve democracy. They paid the supreme sacrifice that we might continue to reap the benefits of a free life. As we prepare to make our way into the world of the future let us ever be mindful of the price they paid to main- tain our way of life.

BOARD DF EDUCATION At the head of the local school systems in New York State there is a body of men known as the Board of Education. It is the duty of these men to keep the scholastic rating of the schools under their jurisdiction up to the standards of the state. It is their responsibility also to plan the new courses necessary for the education of citizens of tomorrow. Few people realize how much work this really requires. For in this scien- tific world of today, the people need a dif- ferent kind of education from what was needed by their forefathers. This group of men must work with un- flagging enthusiasm, for it is only by their planning and work that the youths of a community receive the best advantages that can be offered in education. In the Mineola School System the Board of Education consists of some of the most public-spirited men in the community. These men are Mr. William E. Lotz, president; Mr. Chester R. Painter, vice-president; Mr. Wil- liam T. Hicks, Mr. Patrick J. Walshe and Dr. Frank E. Barnes. The classes of January and June, 1947, would like to take this opportunity to com- mend and thank the Board of Education for doing such a fine job during the years these students attended the Mineola schools. We know that they will always continue doing a superb job. 0
