TWENTY-FOUR HUUR MEN The twenty-four hour men of our school are the members of the school board. In a circus these men precede the performers to select choice sites. Our school board is on duty whenever necessary and paves the Way for the rest of us to follow. Often they can be seen late at night debating the prob- lems that confront them. In all organ- izations it is necessary to have a functioning board to guide operations and practices, the same is true of our public school system. The Westmont board of school di- rectors consists of five members: Dr. Donald W. Matthews, president, Mr. Edward A. Dittmar, Mr. Iohn F. Hen- derson, Mr. Emery C. Dodson, and Mr. Patrick I. Grogan. The members of the Upper Yoder Township board are: Mr. Lawrence D. Little, president, Mr. Lu- ther E. Lehman, Mr. Earl E. Miller, Mr. Lewis l. Miller and Mr. Earl Neeb. The school directors meet once a month with the supervising principal to discuss problems such as the aca- demic operations and the finances of the Westmont-Upper Yoder Schools. These men have many problems to contend with, being responsible for the election of teachers, and, on occa- sions, the discipline of students. 'I 'ref X .,.., fl' .:,.5.f.1,.1.:.

W e, the Senior Class of 1945, dedicate our yearbook to Miss M. Margaret Greer, whose wise coun- sel aided many seniors in choos- ing their -life work. Although she stresses the development of the in- tellect 'in her German classes, Miss Greer sincerely believes that every- one should learn to do something with-his hands as well as his mind +to play, to work, and thus set up a balance in his life. After leav- ing school we shall long remem- ber the , firm but kindly guidance given to us in German classes, in the library, and in all personal problems.

THE RINGMASTER Mr. Willard E. Ackley, with his ever de- pendable advice and encouragement, is still our worth-While friend, trusted con- fidant, and able adviser. He is continuously and tirelessly striving for educational as well as social improvements. He faithfully attends all basketball and football games and strongly urges cooperation of the stu- dent body. Although Mr. Ackley does not conduct the chorus this year as in the past, the students look forward to his enthusiastic assembly sings. Outstanding for his disci- plinarian ability, natural dignity, and hap- py disposition, Mr. Ackley can always be heard humming or singing happily as he makes his rounds through halls. Anna Mary Raab, secretary to Mr. Ack- ley, is quite a sport enthusiast. Each nice morning she is seen riding her bicycle to school. Because of her unchanging neat- ness, quiet efficiency, and enduring pa- tience, she is Well liked by all the teachers and students. Betty Lee Wolf replaced Mary Katherine Reed as assistant secretary to Mr. Ackley. She is Well liked by all the students, and is doing her bit to help make the school a more enjoyable and pleasant place in which to Work.
