Besides their extra committee meetings, they meet on the second Monday and fourth Thursday of each month to discuss and make decisions concerning problems which are continually arising in the Lansing school system. During the past year the Board organized a junior Board of Education. This board, which is composed of members of the student bodies of the various high schools, has become known nationally. Today many cities are trying out this form of student representation. 13 Affecting Sexton more closely was the increased driver education program that included a new instructor, a black-topped training area, and several more cars. Arrangements have also been made to provide Sextonis track with lights. Due to the actions of the board, five members of Sextonis faculty found themselves in new posi- tions. Mr. Forest McCaskey became the assistant principal at C. W. Otto Junior High School. Mr. Lewis Clark is now in charge of safety for the Lansing schools. Mr. John Marrs became head of Public Relations while Mr. S. Earle Trudgen took charge of the Music Department for the city's public schools. Congratulations also to Mr. F. C. Shaft, our new assistant principal.
