DEDICATION The Senior Class of Mineola High School dedicates this, our yearbook, to a man who has been both friend and advisor to us all, Mr. Ben Wallace. Through our years at Mineola he has been our con- stant guide and inspiration. His continued search for knowledge during this past year has inspired us to do likewise. By furthering our learning, we hope that we may also find rich and rewarding lives in the future. Our heartiest thanks to you, Mr. Wallace, and best wishes for continued success. 4

Board of Education The Board of Education plans our passage through the school year. The Board, the policy making body of the school system, has the power to determine what courses shall be taught, how, when and where they are taught, and who are to teach them. Our local School Board governs School District 10 as set up by the state. Therefore, the members of our School Board are state, not municipal officials. The Board thus acts for the state in determining educational policies. The Board is the legislative and judicial body of our school system. It plans the school program for the year and judges such matters as may come before it. The Superintendent serves as advisor to the Board and carries out its decisions. There are three officers appointed by the board: a clerk who keeps the meetings,- a treasurer, who is the fiscal officer of the district; a counsel, who is the legal advisor and represents it in any disputes which may arise. Since members of the Board serve without pay, they deserve all the commendation the school and community can give them. SEATED: Dr. Ernest Michaelson, Joseph L. day, Mrs. Frederick A. Kothe, Vice Presi- Besosa, President. STANDING: Cyril Holli- dent; Walter H. Hock. 6
