Boarcl Governs Mitchell School System To most of our student body. members of the Board of Education are associated with businesses and professions in Mitchell in- stead of with administrative affairs of the school. . These directors. chosen by the voters at public elections to l1old office for a period of five years. serve as representatives of the tax- payers to decide various issues connected with the manipulation of an educational system. Among the many duties of the Board are deciding the levy for taxes to support and operate tl1e schools, planning the budget. and electing all teachers, supervisors, and admin- istrators. Besides these things they assume the responsibility for upkeep. repair and im- provement of tl1e buildings and groundsg all financial matters as well as other policies ol' the schools are fixed by the Board. such as purchasing of supplies and equipment and lixin-'f salar f schedules. zs 5 Committees include tl1e following: finance. Bradley Youngg teachers. Dr. ll. A. Kellyg buildings, grounds, and janitors. Frank Win- nerg supplies. C. C. Miller. The president of the Board. John Craig. is an ex-officio mem- ber of all committees. and Frank Herrick is the clerk. Probably most students know that Mr. Herrick has an office in tl1e administra- tion building and his chief duty is purchas- ing school supplies. John Chapman. school cashier. has his office next to that of Mr. Herrick. Since our first year in school through tl1e twelfth. thelioard of Education has played a vital part in our schooling, and it is to them that we are indebted for its continued pleas- antness.

Y? Q1.. V 53? f B k -far XXX ix X X. X S x NX 'ergior Representatives Decide For Class X x Since some pro lems arising-during the year dealt with only ine particplar claw and it was impractical to present them before the Student Council. such cases were brought to the Class Board. where theyxwere discussed and decided upon. One representative from each of the home rooms was elected for the express purpose of serving on the board. while the home room presidents also became members. Class offi- cers attended Board meetings with the class president in charge. Duties of the Senior Board included dis- cussion on the problems of caps and gowns for graduation this year and the choosing of commencement announcements from various Mitchell Hrms. from which the entire senior class made the final selection. Arrangements and preparations for the annual Senior Skip Day were also made by the Senior Board. Once every three years a joint meeting of all three Class Boards is held. for tl1e pur- pose of selecting a standard senior class ring. This ring is the same for the three-year pe- riodg then a different one is selected during a similar mass meeting. Members of the Senior Board were Leo Titze. Loren Carlson. Phil Casey. Bob Clark, Ruth Haynes, Shirley Ly nch, Alan Smith, Al- bert Smith, Harlan Steiner. Wilma Sweesy. Jimmy Traupel, and Lora Wilsoii. Regular meetings were not scheduled, but were called only when the need arose. Boards for the junior and sophomore classes were organized on the same plan as that used for the Senior Board.
