Board of Ed. lays groundwork for school. l l 7 . . BOARD OF EDUCATION: FRONT ROW: Ernest Staack, Copenhaver, Treasurerg Joy Watermeier, Don Craig Don Anderson, President, Paul Phillippe, Vernon Superintendent. Neemann, Vice President. BACK ROW: Burton The full time job of keeping the Syracuse schools running smoothly and efficiently has been carried out by the able Board of Edu- cation. The problem of facilities no longer bothered the Board of Education as the new Sr. High building was put to full use. Their time was filled with meeting the ever-present demands for equipment, books, and supplies. Mr. Don Craig, Superintendent of Syracuse schools, has served as chief ad- ministrator for 18 years. He received an A,B, degree from Tarkio College and a M,A. degree from the University of Nebraska. He is active in many civic organizations, being a member of the Lions club, Masonic Lodge, and the Chamber of Commerce. Although his job as Superintendent is a full-time responsibility, Mr. Craig always has time to discuss a problem with any of his teachers or students. Board of Education members and their wives enjoy the Centennial Banquet.

The 1966-67 year was filled with many activities in all of the departments. Pungent odors floated through the halls from the chemistry room. Words of heated debates were often heard coming from the govern- ment room. The clicking of typing machines and calculators was often heard from the typing room. The home ec department spent many creative hours planning for special teas and dinners. A highlight this year was the Centennial Dinner given for the school- board. Several excursions were made by students to dig up old relics for history class. The government classes found them- selves in the State Penitentiary for a few minutes during a field trip to the Capital City. Yet with all these varied activities, complaints and anxieties still came from students. But through the patience and determination of the faculty, another full and busy year was completed at SHS.
