Normal J. Lashkk Superintfiuicnt BEn?(EY R. Stiavaht Principal Associations of the past two vears have given the students of Shields High School an ever-increasing confidence and respect for Superintendent Norman J. Lasher and his work in the Seymour Schools. They have learned to appreciate his persistent efforts to secure better school condi- tions, one result of which is soon to be realized in the erection of a new school building. As an executive, Mr. Lasher ' s quiet insistence upon right ideals and high standards of work have helped to instill a whole- some atmosphere into Shields High School. Last September and the beginning of the present school year brought Shields High School its new principal. Bernev R. Stewart. Mr. Stewart came from Madison High School where he had just completed several years of successful service. By his unusual industry and earnest appli- cation to the various school problems, he has alreadv made his influence felt throughout Shields High School, and her student body justly antici- pates future growth and improvement under his direction.

G. C. BORCHERDING President Henry Roegge Treasurer C. E. Loertz Secretary The School Board The duties of a school hoard niemljer are quite varied and often are unappreciated. He must at all times represent the best interests of the boys and girls of our schools regardless of personal feeling, political pressure or friendly advice. Briefly stated, the school board should select the chief executive officer and his staff of teachers; provide adequate building facilities and pro]jer equipment for the various departments; select efficient janitors; levy taxes and determine expenditures; and decide upon educational policies such as health, education, standards of scholar- ship, and discipline, vocational education, economy in time and expendi- tures, and school expansion as manifested in new courses of study, extra curricular work, athletic activities, etc. The city of Seymour is very fortunate in having three independently progressive citizens on the School Board. These men are keenly sensitive of their duties and obligations, are devoted to the welfare of our schools, and loyal to their trust. They are representative business men, capable of handling school policies in a business-like manner and are exercising efficiency, economy, and vision in administering our schools.
