WILLIAM HARTON, Principal Mr. Harton, in the capacity of principal, has constantly kept paramount the inter- ests of the school. Through his efforts the Student Council has become a valuable asset both in voicing the students’ needs and in introducing new systems into the school.

Nom- inations for the office are made by pet ition and elections occur the second Monday in July at the time of the annual meeting. The present board is composed of four men and two women: Mr. Alvin Dice, President of the Board Mrs. D. R. Ramsdell, Secretary Mrs. F. J. Northwood, Treasurer Dr. Chauncey, Fred Brown, and C. E. Marsh. They meet as a board twice each month, to audit bills, pass on recommendations of the superintendent and conduct such other business as comes under their jurisdiction. They are the court of last appeal in all cases pertaining to the schools and all matters not delegated by them must have their sanction before it is legally effective. As representatives of the people and intrusted with the problem of maintaining a good school system, the board faces many difficult situa- tions. They must employ competent and desirable teachers, but they must not increase the tax levy. They must keep the buildings and grounds in good condition and at the same time be economical. They must see that the course of study is kept up-to-date and proper text books selected but they must not follow after fads and frills nor change books too often. They must be amenable to public opinion without being swayed by every breeze of gossip. They must discriminate between the chronic fault finder and the person with an honest grievance. They must give of their time and thought freely not for compensation but because they have the com- munity interest at heart. These virtues have been in a very large measure exemplified by the present board, and the pupils, teachers, and patrons feel that in the board they have friends and advisors who care more for justice than popularity. eee
