SEATED: Mrs. Janet Hopkins, Henry Metzger, Emery Meyers — President. STANDING: Homer S. Nightin- gale — Superintendent, Edward C. Kutz, Clyde Elder — Vice President, Orra K. Benton — Clerk-Treasurer. Homer S. Nightingale — Superintendent, Washington Local Schools - The Board of Education members, who are elected for four-year terms, employ Mr. Homer Nightingale to administer their plans for our school system. The board must consider the needs of one senior high school, two junior high schools, and eleven elementary schools. By looking ahead, it was able to plan for two elementary schools which will be opened in the next two years to meet the growing en- rollment. To keep the high educational standards which it sets, the board employs nearly 350 teachers for the 9133 students currently enrolled in our schools. In addition to the regular public school pro- gram, summer school and adult night school sessions are held. The post of assistant superintendent for instruction, held by Mr. Jack Meade, was created to help with the administration of the Washing- ton Local Schools. 4 ‘

The mural which decorates the east wall of the field house was painted by Jim Nickloy, a local artist. It shows the evolution of athletic events and pictures all sports in which Whitmer participates. Even a styl- ized Panther has been incorporated into the design in the lower right. Graduation has a different meaning to dif- ferent seniors. To some it represents the end of their formal education and the be- ginning of their life’s work. To others it is merely a stepping stone towards a higher education, either at a college or at a school of specialized training. In the classroom students use a study peri- od to learn the same French verbs, geom- etry theorems, and cell structures that oth- er students before them have had to learn. ar ae Students eagerly await the last period of the day on special Fridays when pep sessions are held. Here juniors meet their friends and enter the field house to cheer their team. Students’ spirits rise as high as the flames of the crackling bonfire. Here our fighting Panther teams are introduced to their cheering classmates at the beginning of the football season.
