Glibe gleam I Brown Van Smith Hardin Helf Mrs. Dickinson Davis Mrs. Erickson The Board of Education The Board of Education of Independence is one that should have a great amount of acknowledgment. It has backed the school and heartily supported all school activities. The Board is helping every student gain a thorough education to help equip them for their future careers. In the past year S7 ,500 was donated toward the Athletic Field for which William Chrisman is truly thankful. The Board of Education has for its president, Mr. John Hardin. Before being elected to his present position, he had been for two years on the Auditing and Finance Committee. Mrs. William Erickson, the Vice-President, has served on the Board both on the Ways and Means Committee and on the Librarian and Text Book Committee. The Treasurer, Mr. Emil T. Helf, has been on the Building Committee for sixteen years besides holding the position of president for a number of years. Other members of the Board are Mr. Frank Brown, who has been on the Ways and Means Committee since 1921, besides serving on the Auditing and Finance Committee, Mrs. William B. Dickinson, who has been for live years on the Ways and Means Committee and the Building Committee, and Mr. Herbert Van Smith, who was elected to finish out Mr. Cudworth's term. Last, but by all means not least, is the ever-ready to serve secretary, Mr. John W. Davis. Mr. Davis was elected to the Board in 1901 and was a member and secretary for nine years. For the last sixteen years he has not been a regular member of the Board but he continues to act as secretary. He has a record of twenty-five years of service in the field of education in this city. Independence is to be congratulated on having such capable men and women to look after the various interests of its schools. Page Thirteen e 1926
