BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education is composed of six business men of Parsons, who have been acting in that capacityi for quite a number of years. They act in all matters pertaining to the school, including planning of the buildings. After much consid- eration, the school board decided that the six-four-four plan was good for the school and this will go into effect next year. They have done noteworthy work in this line in planning the new McKinley School Building. They also did most of the planning for the High School and Junior College. The members of the School Board are: Mr. VVilliam Cunningham-President, Mr. W. L. Mosher-Vice-President, Mr. Edwin N. Hunter, Mr. Charles Gribben, Mr. Max D. Chase, and Mr. VVade Risser. The Clerk is Mr. VV. S. Phillips and the Treasurer is Mr. W. C. Crawford. Although three of the six members are up for election every two years, they have done such good work in office that they are seldom opposed. 'V+-45 figiaixflmumef inllvfx

The guiding hands of the leaders have not fal- tered when the going was rough. The good ship Viking came safe- ly through into the harbor, as do all ships steered by good cap- tains. S Leadershzp In the few paragraphs to fol- low the Senior Class wishes to recognize the endeavors of these leaders in their effort to give staggering youth a foothold on life.
