Board of Directors The school district is acutely aware of the basic position the board of directors employs in the educational system of our country. The three members comprising the hoard in Union are responsible directors, experienced in the needs of the school, progressive and cognizant of the fact that the current world situation has made us all feel unsafe as a people and as a nation. They realize that we live in a world where anything may happen and that man is already considering the problems of survival for the human race. These changed conditions have been felt strongly in the schools and have brought with them problems and challenges that cannot be avoided or put off with the feeling that solutions can wait for the morrow. Schools are in a position where all bystanders think they know what should be done and all are yelling directions: some impatiently and some angrily. Evidently something must be done whether it is to help children towards a healthy, happy life, to improve the public esteem in which schools are held, to contribute to individual or social or community effectiveness, to save and develop our democracy, or to save our own skins—something must be done. It all adds up to this: The job requires ability of a high order. It cannot be directeJ by men without intelligence and knowledge. It requires courageous decisions. It requires speed and action. Union is indeed fortunate to have men in a directorate capacity who are able to meet challenges and to direct the affairs of the school in a wise and efficient manner. 10— : ' ' : ' L I I I I
