SCHOOL BOARD X -- Standing: Menno Snyderg Lloyd Lindg Aaron Nofziger,Vice Presidentg Marvin Schrockg Max Yoder,Presidentg Edward Kenegyg Albert Hershbergerg Ralph Shankg Seated: Melvin Wolfer, Treasurerg Wayne Hooleyg Milton Martin, Secretary. Possibly a bit of history might serve as an introduction to this message concerning the organization and workings of the School Board. At conference in 1944 a committee of three brethren were appointed by the Conference Moderator, namely Marcus Lind, M.R.Martin, and G.D.Shenk, to study the school problems of the district and the need and possibility of starting a church, Bible, and High School. The following year after the report of the Committee, a school board was appointed, consisting of Fred Gingerich as Chairman and he with the late C.G.Yoder were the Finance Committee of the Board, Marcus Lind and M.R.Martin the property Committee and Ernest Garber, Ray Mishler and Ernest Bontrager the Administration Committee. These seven brethren were given the following Conference Assignment. To establish and operate an accredited High School in the destrict and shall be responsible to Conference. They shall begin their work at once, and continue until desired ends are reached. From this point on preparations were made to have school the same fall which was 1945. The first year a school house was rented at Bellview near Sheridan which served the purpose quite well. The following year work had gotten under way sufficiently to make it possible to have school on the present campus. From there on work kept progressing as help and finances were available until at pre- sent the floor and foundation of the new per- manent Aduinistration Building is started. The responsibilities of the Board are many and varied with the everpresent handicap of the lack of funds to move fast enough in the build- ing program to keep up with the increasing school and Student Body needs for class rooms, dormitories and other facilities. We are grateful however for the blessings of our Heavenly Father in supplying our needs and for the Christian Spirit that has been prevalent, for the main part, throughout the Board, Faculty and Student Body. Yours for Christian Education. Western Mennonite School Board, l.R.lartin, Sec.
