Board Of Education Sets School Policies Thomasville should be proud of its five- member Board of Education. They are com- munity servants who work without financial remuneration to improve our schools. Upon the shoulders of these men rests the respon- sibility of formulating and adopting school policies. They must select our teachers and all school personnel and promote the best possible school program in relation to the community's ability to support it. We expect them to be ever mindful of our needs-present and future-and to evaluate the work and leadership of the school ad- ministrator and the school program. A good board member must have patience, be able to act wisely, exercise good judge- ment, have broad knowledge of the local school system, have faith in education, and be a man of moral character. To few men in a community comes this opportunity for fine and enduring service. Thomasville's Board of Education is comprised of Harry Brown Finch-chairman, Harvey Carpenter, Van Richardson, Robert Holladay-vice-chairman, Walter Rapp, and Superinten- dent G. H. Arnold-ex-officio member. E A 1 ta ty as U1 rx .agp f a fi ss, xii 9 .1 24
