BOARD OF EDUCATION A great deal of credit is due the members of Upper Darby's Board of Education who have faithfully given their services to the school system so that all the schools in this district may run smoothly. Under the leadership of Dr. George G. Dilworth, who presides at its monthly meetings, the hoard has worked hard and long in order to better the school system. During the past year, the members have been busy with the plans for the construction of two new elementary schools and the completion of the senior-high-school addition. At the November election the township overwhelmingly approved the $1,850,000 school-bond issue to erect new buildings at Primos-Secane and Llanerch Hills. Work was also begun in the fall at the high school in prepara- tion for the new academic wing and modern gymnasium, which should be completed by th fall of 1951. The ground was leveled by bulldozers and steam-shovels, and the fields were covered with topsoil and seeded in preparation for these buildings. Upper Darby can proudly say that the school board—in realizing educational needs of a rapidly'growing township and in carrying out expansion plans along with its regular duties—has contributed immeasurably to both the school and the community. 12
