BUAIQD I: EDIJCATIDN Iust as any musical enterprise is sustained by its backers, so our school is kept running smoothly by the Board of Education. Selected by the voters and serving with -their joy in our achievement as their only remunera- tion, these citizens are tireless in their efforts to add to our Well-being. Their duties include the selection of a wise administration, the provision of a cap- able teaching staff, and the planning of a budget to meet our school needs. They are ever on the alert for new ideas bearing on the improvement of our schools. Their latest project was the extension of the basement hall from the shops to the cafeteria. This has become especially valuable as an air raid precaution. Through the efforts of our school board, the hit-and-miss system of printed announcements has been replaced by a public address system with speakers in each room. Announcements can be made, and in- structions given with the result that efficiency of management has been greatly improved. Because of the increase in popula- tion shown by the l94U census, Somer- set has become a third class school dis- trict and has added two additional members to its school board. The seven members are Dr. Charles C. Barchfield, president, Mr. Iohn W. Gnagey, vice president, Mr. Harry S. Wolfersberger, secretaryg Dr. C. I. Hemminger, treas- urerp Mrs. W. W. Westfall, Mr. Iames O. Courtney, and Mr. Miles Manges. The Board of Education deserves the praise and thanks of each gradu- ate of Somerset High School for the fine background with which it has pro- vided him. D. Charles C. Barchfield. t 1 Mrs. W. W.
