E. E. CaiT G. J. Taylor Dr. C. A. Selby J. O. Patterson W. J. Braham E. G. Williams H. E. Day Board of Education Mr. E. G. Williams, president, is the oldest member on the board. He has been active in this organization for nine years and is also president of the North Platte Monument Company. Dr. C. A. Selby, vice-president has played an important part on the board for eight years. Much of his time has been taken up by financial matters of the school and it is largely through his efforts that the balancing of the budget has been possible. Dr. Selby is one of North Platte ' s leading physicians. Mr. E. E. Carr, secretary, was elected in April 1928. Ever since his elec- tion to the school board he has held the position of secretary. Mr. Carr is a partner in the law firm of Hoagland and Carr. Mr. H. E. Day is the owner of the Day Milling Company and has been a board member for five years. During all that time he has been of great help to the organization and school system. Mr. G. J. Taylor took office in 1927. Since that time he has zealously per- formed his duties. He is president of the McDonald State Bank. Mr. B. O. Callendar has the distinction of being the newest member on the board. However, he has already done his share in the board ' s attempt to balance this year ' s budget. He is owner and operator of the B. O. Callendar Oil Company. Mr. W. J. Braham in his position of superintendent of schools has been an able adviser to the board for the past twelve years. The tasks of the school board have been particularly arduous this year because of a depletion of finances derived from tax sources. It became difficult to maintain the usual high standards of city schools with a budget of several thousand dollars less than that of many previous years. They accomplished this seemingly impossible feat of maintaining the integrity of every depart- ment in the system. This was only made possible by the cooperation given the board by the teaching force. The gracious acceptance of salary reductions which, though not as severe as in many localities, has materially aided in keeping the same courses previously offered during prosperous times. —9—

■ll Miss Breternitz Mr. Braham Superintendent W. J. Braham Mr. W. J. Braham will have completed his twelfth year as superintend- ent in the North Platte schools this fall. Through all his twelve years he has been popular with everyone with whom he has had contact. He is always will- ing to speak at assemblies or other school programs, and is well-known for his ability to deliver amusing and effective addresses. Mr. Braham was graduated from Walnut High School and Slippery Rock State Normal School. He received his Bachelor ' s and Master ' s degree from Grove City College. He was elected principal of Hebron High School in 1910, and in 1911 went to Sidney, Nebraska, as superintendent of city schools. Eleven years later he came to North Platte in the same capacity. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Braham that the School Board was able to maintain the integrity of each department. He has been adviser to the board throughout his twelve years in the North Platte schools. His experience and thorough understanding in his work has benefited the entire system. He has traveled extensively through-out the United States, and has brought back souvenirs of prominent places, for example, a bit of cable from the Brooklyn bridge, a piece of Grant ' s tombstone, and various other lit- tle knick-knacks which prove that he has the mind and taste of a connoisseur. Mr. Braham has always tried to help individual students with their prob- lems and in this way has become a favorite in the minds of everyone. He is famed in this school for his never-ending supply of stories and jokes, with which he usually begins a talk or address. Miss Breternitz graduated from North Platte High School with the class of ' 22. During her high school career, she took an active part in all school activities. She is a charter member of the Student Council. Fein is to be commended for her excellent work, not only clerical work, but her personal interest in everything pertaining to the betterment of the schools. —10-
