1 l i 4 T Ywey p lDirect ,Us.i.. Mr. Rood, Mr. Carlson, Mr. johnson, and Mrs. Stranigan preside at the laying of the cornerstone of the new school in June, 1953. Almost unknown to most of the students as a group, the two women and seven men who make up the Southwestern Central School Board of Education are, nevertheless, interested in obtain- ing the best education possible, not only for their own children but the children of their neighbors as well. Working unbelievably long hours at a job which has no salary, their only reward is the satisfaction of knowing each child in the district is getting the best educational training possible because of their untiring efforts. This year's board has been under the leadership of Mr. Vern Johnson, president, and Mrs. Lois Hough, vice president. The other members are Mr. Harvey Carlson, Mr. Walter Davis, Jr., Mr. Earl Lawson, Mr. Sheldon Myregaard, Mr. Frank Nutt, Mr. Kenneth Sonne, and Mrs. Mary Stran- igan. The board is divided into various committees with chairmen as follows: Building and Grounds, Mr. Carlson, Cafeteria, Mrs. Stranigang Finance, Mrs. Hough, Teachers, Mrs. Stranigang and Transportation, Mr. Sonne. To help them to carry out their plans and guide them in their decisions concerning school matters the board has the Supervising Principal, Mr. Holland Rood, the Assistant Supervising Principal, Mr. Fulton McKay, and the high school principal, Mr. Cloise Swearingen. At present Mr. McKay and Mr. Swearingen area the building principals at Celoron and Lakewood and help to co-ordinate Southwestern's many buildings into one unified system. Mrs. Margaret Farnsworth, Clerk of the Board, advises them on many matters, and her responsi- bilities are great. l To guide all of them there is the ever-efficient, ever-faithful Mrs. Dorothy B. Connelly, District Superintendent of Schools and her son, Mr. Marcus Connelly, who is the school lawyer., The board, too, is looking forward to moving the junior and senior high schools from the pres- ent branch schools to the beautiful new building on the Hunt Road next fall. The board takes great pride in this building and trusts that all who enter its doors, whether to tjeach, to learn, or to help maintain it, will take the same pride, so that it will always be not only a place of beauty but a place where only the best in education be- comes a tradition. Southwestern Central-where so many dreams will come true. .1 , ' 1 0 .. . .. W H 1 . 0

In Spevzlzl Skills . . . A As we find it time to say farewell, many of our memories of Lakewood will center around: The Art department - and the self-expression we found there among the paints and brushesg The Health department -- and the annual physicals and the more frequent admit slipsg The Home Economics department - where we could always smell delightful odors of things cooking and see fine wearing apparel in the making, The Industrial Arts department - with its fascinating array of tools and the machines we could really learn to run by ourselvesg The Library - where we found relaxation and entertainment - even as we quenched our thirst for knowledgeg The Music department - with its opportunities for revealing our hidden talentsxin the vocal and instrumental areag The Physical Education department - Where sportsmanship and fair play were taught along with fun, exercise, and physical developmentg Many of us found inspiration in these activities which will be the foundation of our future careers. p Mareanne Cole, Junior High and Grade Art Doris Barrows, School Nurse Pasquale Federico, Industrial Arts Edith Helgren, Senior High Art, Art Supervisor Adeline Jones, Home Economici Betty Jo McMillen, Physical Edhcation Lucy Peake, Librarian Jean Potter, Grade Vocal Music Dean Redick, High School Vocal Music joseph Rushin, Director Physical Education Edward Turner, Instrumental Music Seated-Miss Potter, Mrs. jones, Mrs. Peake, Mrs. Barrows, Miss Cole.
