PRINCIPAL IVAN H. LINDER To The Class Of 1941— It sarcely seems possible that it is the time of the year for me to write to an outgoing class another brief message for the Madrono. I should like to point out that the Madrono Tree after which our yearbook is named is really symbolic of what we believe to be the better qualities of our Paly High graduates. This tree, we are told by naturalists, grows natively and best at higher elevations than in valleys. It is a hardy tree, fine-grained, and commands the attention of the passerby even in a land noted for other remarkable trees.

The Board of Education consists of five members elected by popular vote, one out-going member being replaced by a new- ly-elected member each year, except in case of reelection, which often occurs. The Board is the governing body of the Palo Alto School District and is subordinate only to the citizens who elected it. It meets regularly twice every month, as well as at various special meetings. The Board appoints the superintendent of schools, who directs and coordinates the school system of the district and the organization of the annual budget. The duties of the Board are to enact general policies and see if they are being executed, to raise and ex- pand tax money for public education, to manage the schools with the aid of the superintendent, to see that qualified teach- ers are selected, and to see that text books are provided for students. This year the Board of Education has had an active building and expanding program. Mrs. Ruth C. Crary is president; Mr. F. E. Whitmer, vice-president; Mr. J. R. Overturf, secretary; and the other members are Mrs. Wm. O. Shreve, Mrs. M. R. Stone, and Dr. J. C. Almack. Mrs. M. Ruth Stone, Mrs. Pearl S. Shreve, Mr. J. R. Ovcrturf. Dr. John C. Almack, Mr. Francis E. Whitmer, Mrs. Ruth C. Crary.
