-ggwv l 1 William Parks Edna Saxman Donald Hanimitt THE Board of Education, composed of Mr. Donald Hammitt, Presidentg Mr. William Parks, Sec- retaryg and Mrs. Emmett Saxman, Treasurerg is a competent and active group. Because of the many new and difficult problems faced by the schools in these trying times, Portland is fortunate to have such an able school board to guide the educational policies of the community. Everywhere, skilled work is being stressed more and more each day. While the schools of Portland are playing an important part in the teaching of crafts, at the same time classical and cultural back- grounds are not being neglected. A well rounded individual is still the aim of secondary education. Despite two unfortunate mishaps this year-the fire at the high school and the one at the Garfield building-the school city of Portland is in a sound financial condition. Prompt and efficient handling of all problems affecting the schools is due largely to the capable management of the School Board. -12-.
