BOARD OF EDUCATION Seated-Mrs. Stranigan, Mrs. Hough, president, Mrs. Farnsworth. Standing - Mr. lohnson, Mr. Carlson, Mr. Sonne, Mr. Myregaard, Mr. Davis, Mr. Lawson. DEDICATIGN The Senior Class of l955 proudly and gratefully dedicates this, the eighth edition of the Centralian, to our loyal and true Board of Education members. For it was they, with their hard work and planning, who made it possible for us this year to enter in to study and learn in the facilities of a modern and new high school. We are at last all united into one high school build- ing where we can more uniformly work and play together as a central high school. Without the long hours of careful planning and discussions of our Board, our school would still be a dream or vision. But now that dream which was shared by us all, is a reality. We surely hope this dedica- tion of our Centralian will, in a small way, express our thankfulness to the Board of Education for everything they have done for us. During the past year, one ol our esteemed board members, Mr. Frank Nutt, passed away. Mr. Nutt was active on the Board of Education for several years, representing Zone 3, one of the former Busti districts. Present Board members and their com- mittee assignments are: Mrs. Mary Stranigan-Chairman of Teachers and Cafeteria Committee. Mrs. Lois Hough-President. Mrs. Margaret Farnsworth-Clerk of the Board, Finance Committee. Mr. Vern Iohnson-Transportation and Building Grounds Committee. Mr. Harvey CarlsoneBuilding and Grounds, Teach- ers and Cafeteria. Mr. Kenneth Sonne-Finance, Chairman. Mr. Sheldon Myregaard-Transportation, Chairman. Mr. Walter Davis-Publicity, Chairman, Finance Committee. Mr. Earl Lawson-Building and Grounds Chairman.
