Board of Education We are grateful to the members of the board for their unfailing interest in our welfare. They have given their time and energy generously and unselfishly to promote the welfare of our school and have always been in sympathy with all our aims and ambitions. They have done all this from a sense of duty without thought of material reward only the satisfaction of a job well done. The president of the board is Emmett Lusk, the vice president, Mrs. Otto Boesel, the clerk, Edwin Stroh, and the other members are Clint Shaw, Walter Bowsher, and Charles Miles. They are all prominent citizens who realize the responsibility of directing the future of many students. Although they rarely come into actual contact with our school life they are responsible for our high standard of educational advantages. They have continually cooperated with us in acquiring better equipment. Their actions are most praiseworthy especially in their choice oi faculty members and making possible more recreation. Thus they have succeeded in stimulating the students to greater zeal in their efforts to elevate their work to that of professors. All of those insignificant controversies that are really a part of our school life become the problems of the Board of Education. They are vitally interested in improving our citizenship, increasing our knowledge of subject matter, bettering our habits of work and ability to organize. In closing, we wish to thank the Board of Education for their cooperation in preparing us to face the future with confidence and hope. Standing: Mr. Clint Shaw. Mr. Charles Miles. Mr. Walter Bowsher Seated: Mr. Edwin Stroh. Mr. Emmett Lusk. Mrs. Otto Boesel

n Memoriam TO THE MEMORY OF BOBBY WALTERS To the memory of one who has passed away, These few kind words we wish to say: Our school careers are about to end But we still think of Bobby, our friend. And although he cannot be here We feel him ever near. We know that up there in that beautiful home, He watches us wherever we roam. And we trust that he'll keep watch 'till we come, too, So we can all be together to start life anew.
