When it was completed the Board of Education, Citizen's Committee and Administration pro- ceeded to plan the Dedication Program for February 4. Mr. Stephen Nisbet, President of the Michigan Constitutional Convention, was main speaker at the program. Mr. Elwood Larsen, Superintendent, gave the welcome and introduced the board members and platform guests. Mr. Edward Jennings presented the new building to Mr. Blaque Knirk, president of the board, who gave a speech of acceptance. Other board members were honored guests at the program. Members of the Board meet regularly once a month plus attend special meetings and have many things to decide on each agenda. Their meetings usually center around financial problems operation procedures of the school. The Board of Education in planning goals for education has tried to look ahead to future years as well as the present. The new facilities should meet the needs of the student and community in the foreseeable future. The new school high building and elementary addition will be a credit to the community for many years to come. 19
