IN MEMORIAM . . In memory of David Eldridge, who died December 25, 1950, We dedicate this page. A member of Mrs. Persinger's second grade and an active Cub Scout, David was HalloWe'en- ing last October 31 with his sisters and friends when he was struck by an automobile and suffered injuries which later proved fatal. But We will always remember the unforgetable smile and Winning Ways that made everyone Who knew Davy love him.

Had it not been for Mrs. Paine's ready-to-help attitude, the assistance of Mr. Brainard, Miss Cross, Mr. Ingham, Mr. Sltreet, Mr. Hunter, our advertisers, and many others whom we have not space to mention, we could not have published so complete a record.

BOARD OF EDUCATION . Clyde A. Ingham, superintenrlentg Howard Wolcott. vice president: Martha Chapman, clerkg Stephen VVeintz, E. J. Hanncman, president: G. W. Berryg O. D. Phelps. Too little known to most of us is our Board of Education and the big job it handles successfully year after year. Its main responsibility is, of course, to hire the faculty, the janitors, and the bus drivers. But there is a great deal more to be done than that, and this year, if such a thing is possible, they have surpassed previous achievements with such accomplishments as: Purchasing a new power lawn mower, snow plow, and cutlter bar, re- decorating the building by painting three corridors, seven class rooms, and corridor floors, purchasing new shades for the lunchroom and study hallg laying an asphalt tile floor in the clinic roomg re-finishing tops of desks, installing a new hot water heater for rest rooms, kitchen, showers, and a special heater for the dishwasher, laying a new sidewalk at the west entrance, purchasing a new movie projectorg building a new concrete shed at the back of the building, installing two new drinking fountains, a new two-way public address system, and new outdoor lights at the corners of the building, ap- proving a resolution for the 392,000 bond levy, purchasing a new desk and chair for the superintendent and ordering a new desk for the secretaryg purchasing new light fixtures for the office, new textbooks, and a new typewriterg raising the salaries of teachers and school employees, and pur- chasing a liability insurance policy on the student body. The board authorized the sale of bonds for the new addition November 14, and they were sold December 11, 1950. Architects' plans were complete in time for the first advertisement for bids to be. run February 20, 1951. The bids opened at noon March 22 and that same evening the Board of Education met to consider them. Our deepest thanks and warmest gratitude go to these board members who have done their job so efficiently and well.
