Of the present Board only two members have served continously since the formation of the District. Those who have retired implied that much energy and time was required to perform their best service. They felt, too, that other civic-minded citizens should share in this tremendous, but patriotic, duty and responsibility. For those who have served, for those who still are serving, and for those who may aspire to this greatest of all trusteeships--the guidance and protection of American youth--there should come some satisfaction that this job of board membership offers a service of public trust of the highest order. It is a serious and important business requiring at times extraordinary strength and strategy. But, regardless of the pressures from disgruntled groups, reformers, super patriots, and the like--a board must forever be mindful that it is a leader, and a champion of ideals to the end that the doors of equal opportunity shall stand open always to every boy and girl. 5 OUR SUPERINTENDENT OUR PRINCIPAL 6 WILLIAM ADAMS, Monmouth B.

The Senior Class finished their last year of school with flying colors. They wish the same success they had to the succeeding R. O. V. A. classes. The class did much planning for the many May events which included Banquet, Class trip, and most important of ail, graduation. They are happy now but, you can be sure they will sadden a little when next September roils around and Good Old R. O. V. A. starts classes again without them. 14 JOYCE MARLENE BLOOM, ROLLO BRUNER, Cheerleader, 2,3,4; Student Council 2,3,4; F.H.A. 2,3.4; Treasurer 4; G. A.

Cheese Cottage Gus Hinkle a plumbing contractor with a temper that is legendary. For twenty years he has made life miserable for his sister, Liz, who has raised his motherless daughters, Evvy, and Judy from babyhood. The girls decide Liz deserves a vacation and proseed to Fairyland Beach, where they rent “Breeze Cottage from J. Orville Spence, one of the tribe of supersalesmen. They inveigle Gus into moving out to the beach for the summer, and then the fun begins. When Gus's temper runs plunb into the lack of living facileties at the “Cheese Cottage , as he rechristens it, Gus fumes and sputters and roars through three merry acts.
