MR. COATS MR. FISCHER MRS. MCCARTY MR, PLAYER MR. HURT opml of Education always, the Board of Education, under the direction of President Coats, took an active interest in the affairs of the school and attempted to satisfy our every want. How to fulfill our needs and still stay within the boundaries of a necessarily limited budget filled many an evening's discussion, but when the smoke of battle had finally cleared away several improvements were evident. The cafeteria had become an alarmingly quiet retreat through the addition of a layer of sound-deadening material to the ceiling, and a much larger bicycle rack had been built by the Building Trades class with materials provided by the Board. Late this winter the Band appeared in resplendent new uniforms and We were much gratified to learn that the Board of Education had made these outfits possible. Last, but far from least, Mr. Coats presented Honor Pins to those worthy individuals who merited them, a job which our Board of Education takes great pleasure in accomp- lishing. Qfldminiffmfom K. K.
