BOARD OF EDUCATIGN he Board of Education, a group composed of seven leading Scarsdale citizens, is responsible for every aspect of our school's policies, Under its guidance Scars- dale High School has excelled in its educational program, in its physical equipment, and in its text book and library facilities. The iurisdiction of the Board includes hiring our personnel, supervising the upkeep of the grounds, approving new courses, and in general, reviewing all decisions necessary for the administration of the school. As elected officials, the members of the Board are re sponsible to the people of Scarsdale and to the state. Thus, since they are constantly in the public eye, their task becomes even more difficult. The Board's many long hours of fruitful work often go unrewarded. Therefore, the students of Scarsdale High School take this opportunity to thank its members, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Berle, Mr. Edmondson, Mrs. Jones, Mr. Phillips, Mrs. Rothschild, Mr. Spence, and their adminis- trative officer, Mr. Shaw, for the work they have done to provide such an outstanding school for the students of this community.
