The men who comprise this governing board not only devote much of their time to the discussion of the most adequate means of providing the best educational advantages, but also lend their interest and encouragement by attendance at practically all the public demonstrations of school activities. Mr. D. W. Kessel and Rev. J. Albert Hall, who have rendered invaluable service during the past two years, are men of keen insight and business ability who have given of their energy for the betterment of the schools. The newly elected commissioner is Dr. I. Levendorf who, during this short period of service, has demonstrated his interest and ability to adequately assist in the guidance of school administration. At this time, we, the members of the Onawa staff, students and faculty of Weir High School wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Board of Education for its continuous and untiring efforts to provide opportunities and advancement for all.

MR, G. A. BECK Mr, Beck, the efficient principal of Weir High School, began his career here in the fall of 1920 as a coach and teacher. Two years later he became the principal, a position which he has filled most capably since that time. His program has always been a progressive one, at all times offering to the students plans which provide opportunity for the development of worthy citizenship and the realization of the better things of life. Recently he received state wide recognition for some of the projects which he has sponsored so successfully in the local school. The student body. and faculty of Weir High greatly appreciate his work and desire to express to Mr. Beck their sincere gratitude for his kindly interest, helpful advice, and worthy example and pledge to him their continued hearty co' operation. M. M. '3O. X 1-rx: ,gy-v,A MR. W. D. JOHNSTON In order to have progress in education it is necessary to have wise administration. Butler District is very fortunate in having at the helm of its educational institution a remarkable ad' ministrator-Superintendent W. D. Johnston. Mr. Johnston is not only recognized as an educator of this community but he is well known throughout the state in educational circles as one of its most eilicient and progressive administrators. For his capable supervision, his sympathetic interest, and his hearty cooperation, Weir High School expresses to him a deep feeling of gratitude and appreciation, ' S. T. 'sn 4
