CLPx SSES Tturorxuc peoples are numbered among the leaders ol the world. ln this group are the Dutch, the Germans, and the Scandinavians. The English are also partly ol Teutonic extraction. lt may not be amiss to observe that in the educational program for boys and girls in the Netherlands a prominent principle to be instilled into their minds is that only he can be a good patriot who understands that his country is an organic part ol the community ol nations. l see in the theme of this boolc an unmistak- able sign that at Saint Clouds Technical High School a kindred spirit prevails, which lact, l leel confident, will not fail in playing its part towards etlectuating the spiritual unity to which manlcind aspires.

THE TECHOES A Message from the Board of Education .ai-alta! TO the average student, the Board of Education is composed of six exceed- ingly serious and very often, disagreeable persons whose only interest is to haggle over expenses and to frown upon everything that costs money. Your board is the civic governing body that pays the school's bills with the taxpayer's funds, that regulates an organization of 150 employees and 2,000 pupils, that directs and maintains a series of properties valued at more than S1,000,000g and that expends each year a budget in excess of 3S250,000. There are two kinds of members of boards of education. The one kind seeks membership on the board to be a guardian of the taxpayers' dollar and to strive, in every manner possible, to reduce expenditures. The other kind, while recognizing the responsibility for eliminating waste and extravagance, is a friend of the schools 5 seeks to advance their standing, endeavors to pro- vide the best of equipment, and works in harmony with the teachers and stu- dents to the end that the morale of the whole educational organization is found- ed substantially upon mutual trust and understanding. Happily, St. Cloud's Board of Education is composed of members of the latter class. Despite beliefs to the contrary, board members have a deep and abiding interest in the schools in fields other than those of administration and finance. They follow every activity with keen interestg they take pride in every achieve- ment 5 they have a profound belief that St. Cloud's schools are second to none, and that St. Cloud's boys and girls are the finest in the country. What you, as students, are now, and what you will accomplish, consti- tutes the acid test of the merits or shortcomings of the school system. Your Board of Education is confident that with the advantages of contacts with the splendid men and women of the faculty, and the fine equipment provided for your use, you will continue to achieve success and become worthy and ad- mirable citizens of the communities in which you live. We, as members of the Board of Education, want you to know that we believe in you, and that when we extend to you our greetings and good wishes, we are not strangers, but loyal friends who have your welfare and best inter- ests at heart. Harold L. Schoelkopf, President of the Board of Education. Dr. H. B. Clark William Shield Dr. M. A. Sivinski Hubert Hanson J. A. Allen Page 16
