NORMAN J. LASHER Superintendent of Seymour Schools Norman J. Lasher ' s eleventh year of service as Superin- tendent of Seymour Schools has drawn to a close — eleven years of devotion and untiring efforts in the furtherance of educational aims and ideals. These eleven years have marked a great expansion of Seymour Schools, materially and academically; the initiation and completion of three great building projects and the establishment of courses to meet the changing educational needs and demands of the students. We, the Seniors, wish to express our appreciation and recognition of all that Superintendent Lasher has contributed to Seymour Schools in the past and all that lies ahead in the future under the influence of his vision and inspiration. J. RUSSELL MITCHELL Principal of Shields High School In addition to his many duties and responsibilities as Principal of Shields High School, Mr. Mitchell is always available for consultation and for giving helpful advice to those who seek it. Because of his profound interest in young people, he has been instrumental in helping many pupils to discover and to develop their latent possibilities. Whether Mr. Mitchell is associated with students in work or in play, his ultimate aim is always to mould the raw material of a heterogeneous group into a corps of good citizens. His untiring efforts for the furtherance of education will always be appreciated. Paga Nine

LENORE SWAILS Secretary GEORGE A. CLARK President ALBERT P. CHARLES Treasurer THE SCHOOL BOARD Those who direct the destinies of the Seymour Public Schools are appointed for a three-year period by the City Council. Their duties as fixed by law, involve the establishment and maintenance of the public school system. The Board, together with the Superintendent of Schools, meets in regular session on the first Monday night of each month to determine policies relating to all phases of the school program. The development of our school system is largely attributed to the interest and support of the past and present School Boards who receive little financial reward for their services but who serve the school because of their interest in youth and the community.
