I l BOARD OF EDUCATlON . sts. .3 Clyde A. Ingham, superintendent: Howard Wolcott, vice president: Mrs. Martha Wilk, clerk: Stephen Wm-intzg E. J. Hunneman, prcsirlentg G. W. Berry: 0. D. Phelps. An organization which deserves a great deal of credit for the big job it handles year after year is our board of education, whose main responsibili-ty is to hire the faculty, the janitors, and the bus drivers, to maintain the school property efficiently, and to budget the school expenses. In addition, the board helped to pay for the new play- ground equipmentg redecorated the building by painting corridors, class rooms, and window frames: purchased two new buses, a new Spencer School sign, and a liability insurance policy on the student bodyg re- paired the roofs, raised the salaries of teachers and school employeesg and approved home instruction for ill students. The problem of how to protect Spencer students from the traffic hazards of route 20 became more urgent when in February our cus- todian, Mr. Mitchell Kindig, was struck and injured by a speeding tractor trailer while he was directing after-school traffic. As a result, larger school warning signs were secured, and efforts were intensified, with assistance from the county commissioners, to secure a traffic light. A concerted effort was also made by the highway patrol to check speeding during school hours in the school zone. February 26, thanks to intensive effort by the board and the Spencer Club, supported loyally by Spencer students and township residents, the bond levy for completion of the new gym and conversion of the old gym to a cafeteria was approved by a 94.2 majority of the voters in the Geneva Local School District.

SCHOOL SECRETARY ANN CROSS As we leave behind us the happy days of our high school years, we shall never think of them without thinking also of Miss Cross, known to other people as our school sec- retary, but to students, faculty, and cooks, as just Ann, Always a friend, she can be depended upon to share our joys and our sorrows.
