Leslie J. Sn John M. Ne Harry W. Ewe George Bosco C ke Jjoaw of C oucaiL The chief problem which confronted the board of education at the beginning of the school year was a financial one. The problem was solved through a process of refinancing, with the results that, by April 11, 1934: (1) all bonds in default had been refunded; (2) all past obligations had been paid; (3) teachers ' salaries had been paid each month; (4) all bills up to March 1 had been paid. A further problem had to do with the man- agement of the cafeteria, which had suffered losses in previous years. New management, fa- vorable purchasing, careful checking, and re- duced prices to the students, have resulted in profits. The inauguration of the Civil Works Admin- istration involved the board in another major problem: that of co-operating with the govern- ment. Of the projects undertaken two were completed: leveling and tiling the athletic field; painting the auditorium and the bleacher seats. The project of building a new stadium and run- ning track was transferred to the Illinois Emer- gency Relief Commission. The final project, that of educational service for adults, is func- tioning under an authorization to continue till May 31. How to reduce current expenses without curtailing educational facilities in the face of an increased enrollment, was also a problem. It was solved by managing so well that expenses were reduced by approximately $40,000, while acatwYL the standard of the school was kept high enough to win unqualified praise from state inspectors. In an effort to bring about greater solidarity and esprit de corps throughout school and community, the board eliminated the dual sys- tem of control, and placed the responsibility for both the business and the educational manage- ment under the jurisdiction of one executive, the principal. The results of the first year ' s ex- perience under this ruhng would seem to indi- cate its wisdom. John M. Newcomer, recently elected presi- dent, is now completing his second year on the Board of Education. He is a real estate broker in this community. Leslie J. Smith, of Forest Park, is serving his third term and his seventh consecutive year as secretary. Mr. Smith has been actively engaged in advertising and sales promotional work. Leslie B. Allen is filling his first term on the Board. He is assistant purchasing agent of the Richardson Company of Melrose Park. He at- tended Proviso High School. George Bosco is also serving his first term on the Board. He graduated from Proviso in 1913, and is a resident of Melrose Park. Harry W. Ewert was elected to the Board this spring. He has been a resident of Maywood for thirteen years, and for twenty years has been connected with the Chicago Board of Trade. ?age 1 8
