The Wave W T H S THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Few really appreciate the services rendered a com- munity by a competent .board of education. Member- ship involves great responsibility. A board who do their duty devote considerable time and thought to the school administration. The responsibility requires men of high ideals and business integrity, men who have the best interests of the community at heart and who are Willing to perform the duties of their position even at a sacrifice to their own business interests. Our present board of education, as well as those of the past, are men who measure up to the standard herein set forth, as the high school revealed in this publication clearly demonstrates. 8
