Page Ten THE SCHOLARS OF OLD We know not that the scholars of old, Were better than the scholars of now, Although we know that they, too, were bold And, by far, of more ingenious brow. Did they, too, suffer and drudge all night As the scholars of now often do 3 Or did they not thrust their books from sight And f lunk like me and you? Do they now pine for the days of old While they sit in the shadows and wait, Or rejoice in the knowledge they hold Of our unknown and hovering fate? K. H.

Dickinson Albert Ott Hubert Van Smith Mr. Brown and Mrs. Erickson have served on the Ways and Means Committee for the past five years. This committee purchases all the supplies, fuel, etc. Mr. Van Smith and Mrs. Dickinson have done some splendid work on the Hnance committee for the past year. Through the work of this committee fire hazards were reduced as well as insurance premiums. This committee also takes care of our bonded indebtedness. Mr. Ott and Mrs. Dickinson are the library and text-book committee. This committee purchases new books ior the public and school librariesg also text-books and maps for the entire system. Mr. Helff and Mrs. Erickson were on the building and grounds committee. Their duty is to keep the buildings in repair. This is quite a task considering the number of very old buildings and the small amount of available money with which to do this work. Mr. Helff has served seventeen consecutive years as a member of the Board of Education without having missed a regular meeting. Mrs. Rowena Davis Kenney was chosen to fill the unexpired term of her father, Mr. John W. Davis, who passed away last November after a continued service of more than twenty years as secretary of the Board. Mrs. Kenney's term expires in July and Mr. J. W. Hinde will take ller place as secretary. Page Eleven
