THE BOARD of trustees are the little known group of men who work for the best interests of the Academy. Much credit is due to this group who spend many hours thinking of ways to better the school. For their hard work they receive nothing but the satisfaction of doing their job well. In this board the corps knows that behind it there is a group who have the interests of the school at heart. Their continual efforts are one of the important reasons that the Academy attained an Honor School rating. Little is said or heard about this friendly group of men. Their many successful deeds characterize these men. A school with such a loyal board of trustees could never fail to attain success in all their undertakings. is X i' i f :f an
