X I Carl Orth P. M. Clingaman The Board of Education A gocdl high school depends most of all upon an interested school board. Any school board' is judged by the things which it dloes and the amount of confidence which it can comm'and from its school. A This year we have had absolute faith in our board. This confidence has not been misplaced, for all through the school year our board has stuck to the ship and has done its very best for the Wauseon schools .During the school term there have been many trials and! disappointments which had to be met squarely. Not once did: the board fail to do the right thing, The president of the board, Dr. Ed Cole has been constantly alert 'and has kept in close touch with the progress of the schools, and due to his efforts .much has been accomplished. The other members of the board, M1'. G. Scott Roos, Mr. Carl Orth, Mr. Peter Clingaman and Mr. Allen BarL.r complete the force which has. worked so harmoniously for our interests, Generally the annuals give but little space in mentioning the School Board, but wie have learned to appreciate a good one and we feel that it has never 1'eceivd its just ilhlflllllt of consideration.

l A. M. Barber G. Scott Roos We must remember that the position cn the board is practically without remuxneia- tion. It is a service rendered willingly and! in too many cases a service not long re- membered. However we must not overlook the fact that these men are our fellow ,citizensg 'Iheyhave their personal interests. to take care of and what ever they do for the schools, all the time spent in bettering them, is out side of their individlual welfare. Men of this type willing and' capable of rendlering some service to their com- munity are the real citizens of a town and! in a large measure form the foundation of the American Commonwealth. We do not mean by this that a man must serve on a school board in order that he -may fulfill his obligations as a good citizen.. 'The idea we wish you to get is this, if the schcol board or any other board for thta matter actually accomplishes good things .for goodness! sakei let us give it credit for them. If it fails to make good, let us remember that it is our privilege to secruire men who will succeedl. The High School of Waiuseon is a unified! body in opinion .concerning the board, and we standl back of it because, as most High School students would say, they have given us a square deal. W. S.
