Looking over project, below: Carlton Steigle; Floyd Hensel, president. The school board is composed of seven members who are elected for three-year terms. Two new mem- bers are elected each year. The board meets at 7:30 P.M. on the third Tuesday of each month in the high school. These meetings are open to the public and visitors are not only welcome, but are urged to come. Supervising the new building project and keeping up with the usual maintenance problems have been the chief concern of the board this year. To these men who have given so freely of their time, the community owes a great debt of thanks. 9

SUPERINTENDENT W. G. Niehus. B.Ed.. M.A ; Illinois Slate Normal University, University of Iowa. University of Wyo ming: Superintendent. Wil i the publishing of this, the 1951 Plainsman, another school year is rapidly nearing completion. To us, personally, it has been a most enjoyable and inspiring one—made so, I am sure, because it has been our privilege and good fortune to work and live with a student body, faculty, board of education, and townsfolk u ho are “tops. We wish to express not only our personal gratitude, but also that of the entire school to all those who have co-operated so whole-heartedly to make this a successful year. And, especially, to you. the boys and girls of our school -in future years, when your days at Plainfield herein portrayed will have become dim in your memories, it is our hope that this, the 1951 Plainsman, will bring you youth, through the reminiscences of your grade and high school days. 8
