It was on this nieinoruble occasion that the first board of education was elected. The ineinbers chosen were Charles L. Ritter, presidentg John S. Norman, secretary, Riley G.Huff1l1U11Q VVillia1n J. W'al1erg and Phil D. Herbert. Now, as in former years, board nienibers are selected from prominent citizens whose priinary i11- te1'est is the advancement of the coininnnity. These nien, giving freely ot their time, receive no remuneration otheigythan the satisfaction of rendering u valuable service to their fellow citizens. We feel that the work of the board could be better snnnnarized in the innnortul words of the Eng- lish soldier and poet, Sir Philip Sidney: Doing good is the only certainly happy action of at l1lll11'S life.
