BOARD OF EDUCATION il. 00' ' A. N. Tl-IURSTON, Supervisorg O. BENTON, Clerkg H. T. GRAVES, HARRY VISCIIIER, MRS. S. MYERS, DR. S. DONATII, CLYDE ISLDISR The supervision and administration of all our school needs are provided by the Board of Edu- cation. Chief among their many duties is the employment of our faculty and other personnel such as cafeteria operators, bus drivers, janitors and office help. They also provide school buildings and their expensive upkeep, and necessary equipment such as free text books. They provide transportation for all pupils living outside of a two mile radius from XX'hitmer. This makes a total of six buses but only Eve are now in operation. The buses transport pupils from VUernert's Corners, Horace Mann, Wfestwood, Hopewell, and Shorelancl districts. Thus the needs of all the surrounding areas of Whit- mer are well served. Board members are elected by the voters of XVashington Township. They meet at Wfhitmer the second Thursday of each month to discuss building programs, expenditures and various problems of importance pertaining to impending needs. Two members are elected one term and in two years, three more are elected to office, making a total offive members. By electing them in this way, we always have experienced members on the board. In the year nineteen hundred and forty five, the oliice terms of Harry Vischer, Mrs. Bessie Meyers and Dr. Stephan Donath, will expire. However, the new members who will take their places will not gain office until early in the year nineteen hundred and forty six. Harry Graves and Clyde lflder will continue to hold otiice until their term expires in nineteen hundred and forty eight. The members' terms expire every four years but, if for some reason a new member is needed, the Board has the power of appointment. Although this organization keeps the school running we seldom see the members of the Board because of their various occupations. Their membership on the Board is an additional position com- pensated only hy a small salary and the grateful thanks of the student body and community. Perhaps we don't realize the importance of the duties of our operating force. livery minute detail of operation of the Vlfashington Township school system is directly or indirectly the result of the Board of Education and we sincerely appreciate their efforts for our welfare. lgl
