The Board is composed of twelve members, elected by popular vote, and representing the different dis- tricts. It meets the second Tuesday of each month in the administrative office. It is the duty of the School Board to pass on all legislation regarding the educa- tion of the youth of Burgettstown and Smith Township. This is a great responsibility; it must determine the policy of the school, its curriculum, purchase necessary equip- ment, and select the schools' administrative personnel. This year it approved the appli- cations of five new members to Union's faculty. Two of the new teachers this year were admitted to introduce a new Art Program. Never before has the high school had such a complete course in this field. Another new venture which the Board passed was the introduction of Driver's Education. A dual-controlled Chevrolet was purchased for this course. The School Board has joined the Penn- sylvania State School Directors Association. This group is organized to promote better school conditions for Pennsylvania's chil- dren. At their annual meetings, they dis- cuss problems common to most schools and the best methods of solving them. The di- rectors who attend bring back to their board new ideas and information on ways to keep the school modern and up to date. Those attending the meeting this year, February 2 and 3, were T. B. Stevenson, Carl Latella, and G. D. Bianchi. The School Board does much to keep Union High modern, complete, and cheerful; thus making the school life of hundreds of students more pleasant and developmental. 13
