Uhr Enarh nf Ehuratinn. When the class of '07 graduated from the grade schools they were pre- sented with their diplomas by Mr. Wilson, as president of the school board. The board at this time was composed of Messrs. Wilson, Cravens, Bulk- ley, Hull, McAdams, Kimball, Arnold and Metzger. Mr. Kimball had re- cently been appointed to occupy a vacancy caused by Mr. Daum's resignation. During the following year, 1904, there were no changes in the member- ship of the board, but in 1905 Mr. Swanson was elected to Mr. Metzger's place. In 1906 Mr. Martin succeeded to Mr. Arnold's position, and Mr. Van Trine was appointed to Hll a vacancy caused by the removal of Mr. McAdams from the Second ward to the Third ward. At the expiration of his term, in 1906, Mr. Wilson retired, having served as a member and president of the board for ten consecutive years. I-Ie was succeeded by Dr. Neptune. The election in 1907 resulted in only one change, Mr. Smith being elected to the place previously occupied by Mr. Martin. Mr. Cravens was elected to the presidency of the board upon the with- drawal of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Cravens is agraduate of the law department of the University of Missouri, and has served on the board for nine years. Mr. Kimball is a graduate of the high school at Quincy, Illinois, and has been an active worker on the school board during his term of four years. Mr. Wilson was a member of the class of '82 at Ann Arbor Law School, and was first elected to the board in 1896. Dr. Neptune attended the McPherson high school and the Dunkard Col- lege, also situated at that place. He took up the study of medicine, attending the Starling Medical College, but completing his course at the Kansas City Medical College. Mr. Bulklcy attended the Agricultural College at Manhattan, but did not finish his course there. He has served on the board for the past four years. Mr. Walter Cravens was appointed clerk of the board in May, 1903, and still retains that position. During the period extending from 1903 to 1907 many improvements have been effected in the Salina school system, among which manual training may be mentioned. In 1904 a new building, the Phillips school, was completed, and two years later the new South Park school was opened, the building which formerly occupied the same site having burned the year previous.
