ILI RY UHGANIZATIU The numerous citizens' advisory committees associated with Sewanhaka successfully completed their individual purposes in furthering the community educational interests because of their sincere public spirited members. This year the Forum presented three speakers, Rear Admiral Yates-Stirling, I-I, R. Knickerbocker and Guy Inman, who in the course of their comments on world conditions spoke of the Orient, Europe and South America. Mr. Myron Doucette was chairman of the Advisory Board for National Defense which directed the Sewanhaka vocational emergency training program started last Iuly. In April 370 trainees who had successfully completed the training had been placed in employment in the aircraft industry. By next Iuly it is expected that 1000 men will have been trained and employed. The completion of the new vocational building, which was con- structed because of the necessity for expansion, resulted in Sewanhaka being named as the machine tool training center for Long Island.

HARRY A. President BUAHU UF EUUEATIU Although the tasks of organizing an A-l defense course in Sewanhalca and of supervising the con- struction of the new vocational building presented some problems, the greatest worry of the Board of Education was the rapidly growing community and the resultant increasing number of students to be handled. The Board continued its work with the Adult Education department and the Citizens' Advisory Committees. Mr. Harry Schroeder of District 5 became president after the resignation of Mr. Ered Schaefer. Mr. H. Erank Carey of District l7 was a new addition to the Board as was Mr. George Wahl of District l6. Others who have continued from past years were William L. McQueen, District 16, Dr. George E. Davis, District 22, Mr. Edward M. Thomas, District 22, Mr. Iohn O'Neill, District l7, Mr. Charles Donahue, Dis- trict 5, Mr. Alfred Kiefer, treasurer, Mr. I. Edwin Rus- sell, district clerk, Dr. Harry Rosenberg, school physi- cian. Mr. Marcus G. Christ is the attorney, Dr. Charles McNeely the dental supervisor, and Mr. Charles H.
