SCHOOL BOARD: Earl Schaffer, W. R. Polii ris, Cyril Bechtol. Walter Witten, Roy Harvey. g. Norman Marxen, R. D. Bennett, P. B. Har- The Board of Education Stands for the Betterment of Our City ' s Educational System The board of education might be called the hub of our wheel of education, for our whole school system centers around these six elected citizens. The responsibility of the Board is to make certain that the entire city school system is run efficiently. The newly-elected board has been confronted with a very difficult problem — how to pass a school bond issue that has been defeated four times. The Board has tried in every way to convince the citizens of Van Wert that it is imperative that we get a new high school. This year they circulated questionnaires and invited the pub- lic to attend several open meetings. They have taken great pains to inform the pub- lic on each and every phase. Now it is in the hands of the citizens. We can only hope they realize the importance of a good edtication. It is evident that the board wants to obtain the very best facilities for the least amount of the taxpayers ' money. This is only one example of the responsibilities shouldered by the Board of Educa- tion. Their position is important to the success of our community and the education of the young people of Van Wert. 22
