Class of 1940 Education repels intolerance and bigotry. It helps the individual to develop leadership and a plan of action. Proper education creates in a person a surer initiative, a more dynamic intelligence, a self-disciplined character, a broader and more liberal social outlook. Education is a continuing process. It does not end with high school or v ith university graduation. Continue your education whether in school or out of school. By continually increasing your education, you will enhance your value in life. Mathew Barkley [9]

THE SCHOOL BOARD No other person in any community holds a position which carries more responsibiUty than that of the School Board Member. He is the official repre- sentative elected by the voters to work with the other Board Members in running the schools. The good Board Member never uses the prestige and influence of his office for private gain. He represents the taxpayer, but never at the expense of the child. He is the representative of the young people of the community, and assumes responsibilty for their educational welfare. The good Board Member never allows his actions to be biased, nor does he permit prejudices to enter into his deliberations. His philosophy dictates that the interests of the boys and girls come first in every educational program. The School Board Members, whose pictures appear on this page, recognize the responsibilities of their respective offices. West Milwaukee ' s educational and recreational programs carried on by the schools attest to that fact. BOARD OF EDUCATION EDMOND LEMAY Director JOHN ZAWERSCHNIK Clerk WILLIAM STUTZMAN Treasurer [8]
