Fuller who retired from the Board of Education this year. Mrs. Fuller the first woman elected to the Board served two consecutive terms. All students should be informed of civic and social problems in order to make themselves better citizens says Mrs. Fuller. I believe that education should be so designed to better fit the younger people for their later life and that persons in author- ity should discuss all problems which concern the public good. Previous to becoming a member of the ,Board Mrs. Fuller was for eight years at the head of the Music Department at old Central High School. The school system is a corporation with the Board of Education as the Directing Board Mrs. Fuller said. There are six members of this Board who define the pol- icies, ideas and activities of the school system. During her terms as a member of the Board Mrs. Fuller served as Chairman of the Library and Vocational Committees was a member of the Finance and Textbook Committees and served in many other positions. Students should have the opportunity to discuss with a high-minded individual personal problems which confront them. A person who has a well-rounded education is the one who will succeed in life. The opportunity to enhance their education is being appreciated by the large majority of the young people attending the public schools today, concluded Mrs. Fuller.
