I HIC l'f ill' 6061171 GHC! Rounding a corner on the second floor, we fHerk and Ike? bumped into a twinkley-eyed gentleman who was just leaving his office. The sign on the door proclaimed that he was Superintendent of the Sidney City Schools. He was most gracious to us, saying he hoped we would enjoy our stay here. Was he surprised to learn we had been here for thirty-five years-on the outside! The group of serious-looking people on the opposite page is the Board of Education. Mr. Louys, for so the gentleman introduced himself, stated, in answer to our question about the value of a high school education, the purpose of this organization. This is what he said: To represent the people in the conduct of the schools of our community, five persons are chosen, each for a term of four years. It is a distinct honor to serve as a member of the Board of Education, but this honor entails a responsibility for the guidance and educa- tion of all our children. Few people realize the time spent by the Board in solving the many problems with which it is confronted. It is first of all a policy-making body, and it must provide the necessary financial appropriations for the proper functioning of all the schools. The Board provides for the employment of teachers and other school help, the awarding of contracts, the purchase of textbooks and supplies, the proper care and maintenance of the buildings, and the supervision of new building construction. lt resembles the board of directors of any large business cor- poration and must make its budget balance even with increasing costs. We are fortunate to have a representative group of indi- viduals who are interested and willing to devote their time and energies to the welfare of the children, who will be the future citizens and directors of the destiny of Sidney. Maybe this will give you the beginning of an idea of how a school can develop the youngster of yesterday into the citizen of tomorrow. Seated in the picture are the new members of the Board. They are Dr. Clayton Kiracofe, Mr. Wayne Bertsch, Mr. A. H. Henke, Mrs. H. E. Schieber, and Mr. Huffman Dearth. The old members standing are Mr. H. M. Faulkner, Mr. I. C. Custenborder, and Mr. Ioseph Cook.
