DURING the seven years of Sewanhaka's existence, Mrs. Utter has worked as El member of the Health Council and the Visual Educa- tion Committee. Since its formation she has also served as adviser to the Girls' Hi-Y, Alpha Chapter, and was last year appointed assistant adviser to the Junior Class. Because we recognize in Mrs. Utter the qualities of informality and friendliness which symbolize the makeup of the 1937 Totem, we wish to express our appreciation by dedicating this Totem to her.

PERHAPS the best way to express the aims and purposes of the Board of Education would be to quote a part of the message of welcome which the President of that group of men published in the Chieftain last Octo- ber. ' '5Those who are entrusted with the guardianship of Sewanhaka's activities-curricular and other- are ever eager to be most helpful and cooperative in the effort of every student ato make good' in every way. The resources of Sewanhaka-its physical and educational equipment -are constantly increased and im- proved to meet adequately the ever- growing needs of its splendid student body. The task of maintaining the good name and fame of the school rests largely upon the proper use to which these resources are put. That last sentence expresses the desire of this group. In fact it is the sole reward they get for their labors, namely that students take advantage of the opportunities offered them and in that way show their appreciation of what has been done for them. The Board of Education is com- posed of two members from each of the four school districts of Sewan- haka Central High School. With many years experience as school trustees, these men are well ac- quainted with and understand, sec- ondary education and its problems. Dr. Joshua Bloch of New Hyde Park, was President for this year. He was ably supported by Vice-Presi- dent Edward Thomas of Bellerose. William W. Van Zandt, New Hyde Parkg Dr. George E. Davis, Belle- roseg William L. McQueen, Stewart Manorg Eric R. Anderson, Elmontg Walter A. Elson, Franklin Square, and Frederick VV.
