school board—a bouquet You've heard faintly of George Washington and Abrahan Lincoln, but did you over hear of the School Board--that unheralded, uost deserving, unronuncrat d body? You will now! Members for 1940-41 arc Frank Perry, President, 19 years in servico; Doctor A. C. Berry, Vico President, 10 years with the board; L. H. Buchondorf, 5 years a nenber; J. W. Gillette, serving his second year; Byron Hoopor, also completing his second year; and Doctor W, H. Miner, finishing his first year in service. Every third year two neubers arc up for election. This bod has jurisdiction ovor school district Number two--all tho schools in the City of Norfolk, Nebraska. This board elects the teachers, custodians, and secretaries every year. There arc 99 employees within the school system. Mooting regularly once a uonth and averaging one special nceting por nonth, tho school board is then divided into separate cocnittoos which noet oven i.oro often. This, in numbers, arithmetic, geometry, or algebra, all adds up to a lot of work, and all on account of this ever growing younger generation who reap tho benefits of our conscic-ntious School Board, and go their way, unthinking, unthanking. '•' hen, in later years, they look back, perhaps they'll think of then. They doit't now'.
