As the Board of Directors of an Airline Corporation establishes the business policies of the organization and sanctions plans made by the Administration, so the Board of Education formulates the school’s policies and makes decisions regarding all plans and suggestions offered by the faculty and the Administration. Its members are busy, active citizens of Reedsburg, the landing field, but one finds them willingly devoting much of their time to the interest of the school. One of the most valuable contributions they arc making is a long-term educational program which ultimately should make the city of Reedsburg the possessor of one of the finest and most efficient school systems in the state. As conditions and finances permit, this program is to be developed. Members of the Gleaner Staff and the Senior Class as a whole are fully aware of the fine help they have rendered and wish to take this opportunity to express their sincere appreciation. “Esther,” as most everyone calls her, is familiar to students and teachers alike, but here is some information about her that is perhaps not generally known. She was graduated from R. H. S. in 1934, and returned for a post-graduate course in ’35. She then worked for Otto Krause and Son as secretary for a year. She began work in the High School office in 193b and has been there ever since. Being an alumna, she knows the school from A to Z. Her winning smile, her obliging manner, and her splendid efficiency combine to ESTHER MF.DF.NWAI.D make her a fine secretary. Page eight

Homer E. DeLono, B.A., M.A. Milton College, University of Wisconsin Milton, Wisconsin, still claims our principal, Mr. Delong, as one of its more famous sons. Homer, as he was called, excelled in sports while attending Milton College and kept his interest in them to such an extent that he proved a most successful coach in the Reedsburg High School. He began his coaching career in 1929 and after several successful seasons took up the duties of principal, teaching mathematics, and disciplinary measures, the latter being a course in which he majors with a degree all his own. His unbounded kindness, fairness, and pleasing personality, have made him one of the most popular and beloved persons in R. H. S. Although at times the student body has not shown its appreciation of Mr. Delong, deep down in the hearts of all are silent thanks for the admirable work he has done. In departing, the Senior class wishes to say that no one could desire a more just critic or loyal friend than Mr. Delong has been to the students of R. H. S. Page seven
