How Firm A Foundation 'tnion Free School District No. 11, Town of enspstead i s the of f ic ia 1 title of our School District. Among those closelj concerned with school adirinistrat ive matters it is known as a ‘Village Super intendency , a tern used to denote such districts having a population in excess of four thousand five hundred persons ai»d not incorporated as a city. The Foard of Education is the policy determining body. It is directly in control of all matters concerning tlie welfare and progress of youth in school. This means not only approval of hills and contracts, the provision of supplies and of maintenance, hut also planning for both now and the future to be certain that textbooks, courses of study, and all tlwt is done is in keeping with tlwi finest traditions of American Fducation. The members, elected ty the voters of the School District, serve without pa fora three year term. It neets regularly each month to review natters of instruction, finance, and m.a intenance of facilities. The hoard serves bj authorityof State Legislature, and seeks at all tines to provide the best possible educational opportunities for youth, yet it is mindful of the interests of parents and taxpayers. School administration is generally considered as one of the Lest cxatT.plcs of an effective representative form of government. Tl»e people vote direct ly upon money to he raised and upon the representatives who are to be held responsible for pul lie service. Efficiency Is The Word As executive officer for the school board, Dr. Walter S.Poardrr-an, Superintendent of Oceanside schools, has well served the District. He has wisely executed the plans conceived by the Foard of Education and has worked constantly for the betterment of Oceanside youth. His interest goes beyond the school. He has supported 'Sailors Haven,' Oceanside's youth center, and he has tirelessly tacked every phase of the war effort. Lt. Charles Vosback, principal of Oceanside High School, who is now on active duty with the United States Navy, received recognition this past year, when his gun crew was awarded a citation for all around excellence. We all hope for his safe and quick return. Hiss Alice 1 inkad? has continued in her position as acting principa 1 and has striven to keep upOceanside’s standards. She has shown interest in extra-curricular activities and has fostered the development of team work. Our assistant-principal. Miss Eunice Pearson, who also serves as school 1ibrarian and adviser to the C neral Organization, has contributed many years of faithful service and has been an invaluable aid to Miss Kinkade in supervising financial affairs for Oceanside High. School administrators are now confronted by the same problems that are challenging leaders in other fields. They iiave tlie additional task, however, of dealing daily with those young men and women whose lives are being so inrced iatel y and drast ica 11 y affected. We are glad that our school is in the hands of such capable people. 6
