Board Members: L. to R: Myron Fuhr; Clarence Dresow; Warren Radel, Chairman; H. C. Rustad, Supt; Robert Daub, Treasurer; Stanley Stassen, and Leonard Hauptli, Clerk. Decision-makers provide Seated around their new table, school board members discussed and decided mat- ters of great importance to students and the community. Preliminary plans for a two story addition between the gymnasium and the 1923 building were one item of con- sideration. Increasing high school en- rollment and the move to close the Sea- forth elementary school made the addition necessary. Trips to conventions kept both the school board and administration up to date in new education developments. On the local level, the board hosted the Redwood County School Board Association. School Board members traveled to Minneapolis progressive education for the Minnesota School Boards Association. At this convention Stanley Stassen took part in one of five panel discussions. William Gasho, high school principal, attended a national convention of principals in Chicago which emphasized current trends in education. Lorance Geske, elementary principal, com- pleted the traveling group by attending a principal's convention in Minneapolis. Always concerned with improvements for the future, the administration sent question- aires to graduates of WHS. The questionaires were designed to report on the graduates' opinions of their school and suggestions for betterment. L. to R: William Gasho, secondary principal, Lorance Geske, elementa- ry principal, and H. C. Rustad, su- perintendent, dis- cuss an adminis- tration policy.

Windows between the typing room and the Steno II room permitted two steno classes to procede at the same time.
