DICKINSON An Appreciation The beginning of all virtue is gratitude and we want you, as our Board of Educa- tion, to know we have gratitude for the opportunities you have made possible for the children of Independence. These twelve years of education have been spent in one of the best school systems of the state because of your planning and work. The forty-two units of work you have offered gives us a course of study that meets the needs of our capabilities and capacities. This gives us a larger opportunity to meet our needs than have the boys and girls, as a whole, throughout the state. Our trophy case is full of cups and emblems of victory over our competitors. We ascribe much honor to our Board of Education for securing superior coaching and training in these activities. You have furnished us excellent leadership through our faculty. We recognize that the two great functions of public education are scholarship and dependableness. Your faculty, both by example and incitement to duty, have maintained a high standard of scholarship as attested by the alumni of our school. We know you have been in long sessions, planning for new buildings, selecting teachers and arranging for equipment. We do appreciate all this and await our chance to exemplify it in service in this or some other community. You have made William Chrisman one of our state's leading schools.
