These representatives are elected by the people of the community for a term of six years. The two boards have been operating a high school program jointly since 1917. The school board meets monthly in the administrative office at Union to conduct the affairs of the high school. The officers of the board are as follows: I. R. Culley, president, Leon Testas, vice presi- dent, C. D. Scott, secretary, and G. D. Bianchi, treasurer. The school board, having a difficult and important job, meets as a unit, however, it requires a majority vote of each of the boards to approve any action. The members are always striving to improve the education- al standards at Union. President Culley has appointed the fol- lowing members to serve on special com- mittees: Building Committee Chairman Bianchi, Wagner, Stevenson I ZZW and Caleffie inspect the buildings to see what repairs are needed. Budget Committee Chairman Bertovich, Scott, Stevenson, and Zelenko meet with Mr. Miller and plan a tentative budget for the school year. Band Committee Chairman Zelenko, jones, Scott, and Dalverny approve engagements that the band- leader plans. Athletic Council Wagner, Iones, Latella and Testas serve with two student representatives, a junior and a senior. Two members are from the Burgetts- town Borough Board and two members are from the Smith Township Board. The super- vising principal, the Union High principal, the faculty manager, and the head coaches of each of the sports also serve on the athletic Council. This group of civic-minded men try to keep Union as modern and up-to-date as pos- sible and are of great service to our com- munity.
