BOARD OF EDUCATION The student body of the Sunbury Area High School is composed of pupils from four different school dis- tricts—Sunbury, Upper Augusta Township, Rockefeller Township, and the borough of Snydertown. The gov- erning body of this school system is known as the Sun- bury Area Schools Committee. Eleven persons make up the group. The city of Sunbury, being a third class district is represented by seven members—William Betz, Donald Treon, W. T. Abrams, Herbert J. Beck, E. L. Bergstresser, William A. Pope, and Miss Helen Schaffer. With the exception of Upper Augusta Town- ship which has two members, Lloyd Rohrbach and Claude Knoebel, Rockefeller Township and Snyder- town each send one member, Edwin A. Kistler and John O. Eister, respectively. A preliminary meeting is held prior to each main committee meeting. At this time all matters brought to the committee's attention are put up for discussion. However, no definite action is taken on any problem. As a result much time is saved at the regular meeting which falls on the third Tuesday of each month. In addition to the eleven members on the committee, J. Fred Jones, superintendent of schools, and Paul K. Rossiter, clerk to the secretary, are present at each meeting.
