Pederson.j v School Board Governs P.H.5. Policies The task of maintaining high ed- ucational standards at P. H. S. and other schools in the district is the responsibility of the Board of Educa- tion of Unified School District 270. The Board is composed of eight members who devote their time and efforts to the betterment of all stu- dents in the district. District 270 has been a unified school district for only five years. The change took place in July, 1966 in order to eliminate small districts and to decrease the instructional cost per student. USD 270 covers approximately 275 square miles. This includes the southeast one third of Rooks County and one fourth of northern Ellis County. This puts Plainville High School, Plainville Grade School and Turkville Grade School under the jurisdiction of the Board of Educa- tion. The Board is the governing body for fifty- three teachers and ten cooks. They have the responsibility of hir- ing all teachers and other employees of the school system. All major dec- isions concerning the schools are made or approved by the Board. These eight men make the policies for all schools in the district. They represent the people of the commu- nity in the management of the school. They are very concerned with the education of each student of the district. The Board has pledged itself to exhaust every effort and re- source necessary to achieve the finest educational program and offer it to the children of the community. The Board of Education for Dis- trict 270 is a very active and inter- ested group. They are more active than most other Boards in the state. These men are broadminded and are forward looking. They cooperate with most ideas that the students bring before them. They have allow- ed the students from P. H. S. to have a student lounge. This year two stu- dents from P. H. S. sat in on the school board meetings. They pro- vided a direct link from the students to the Board. This really improved the communications between the two groups. Serving on the Board is an add- ition to their busy, full-time jobs whether they are businessmen, farm- ers, or oilfield employees. They MONTGOMERY WARDS sTAAB's wARn AGENcY receive no pay except the heartfelt gratitude of the students of the community. The President of the Board of Education is Mr. Bert Taylor.

Lawrence Hach- meister, who lives in Codell is a farmer and stockman. Mr. jack Mock is an employee of Phillips Petroleum Company. Dr. A. M. Pederson is one of our local doctors.

We would like to say Thank You to these eight men who have given their time, service and in- terest to help make P. H. S. one of the top schools in the state.
