Canning The impressive leaders of our school sys- tem sat patiently in Mr. Paynter's office. lt was the first Tuesday of the month, and that is the day set aside for our school board to meet. Some of the issues that have been discussed and acted on at these meetings this year were the appoint- ments of new teachers and custodians and the setting of their salaries. They have also regu- lated school taxes and expenditures, argued the pros and cons of the maintenance problem, and sought the best brands of all supplies that a comparatively big school like ours needs and uses. Summing up a good definition of the school board, we will say they are the policy-making body for the school. Aside from the duties of the school board that are taken for granted, there is the achievement on the development of the high school building and grounds surround- ing the school. Many improvements on our ath- letic field have also been made, due to their suggestions. In the near future there are other plans that the school board intends to carry through. A new addition to the high school is the biggest thing on the list of the future. In the new addi- tion there will be a new gymnasium, which means the stage and auditorium will be used as a stage and auditorium from then on. The shop also should again become part of the high school. As long as we have such stable men as Mr. Edward Werner as president, Mr. Lawerence Morehouse as vice-president, and Mr. Harry Can- ning as secretary, the school board will, no doubt continue its excellent work. In all fairness to the officers and following members: Harold Beck, Frank De Mario, Charles Marien Jr., Har- old Slack, and Charles Wissner, we should men- tion that their time and service is donated. All in all, they certainly are doing a grand iob. Westvian - T2
