1934 THE GLEAM Page 17 BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to Right, Top Row: Mr. Albert Ott, Mrs. William Randall, Mr. Iohn W. Luft. Bottom Row: Mr. Frank Brown, Mrs. Icsse Martin, Mr. Henry Van Smith. The managing of our school system is no small task and our Board of Education has done it Well. We think of our Board of Education as a board of directors of a business enterprise, and surely with the small amount of taxes collected from the people of our school district, in which there a1'e no large industries and with the largest per capita enrollment of children of any city in Missouri, they have done Well to provide for us as they have. ' Independence, owing to the efforts of our Board, boasts a fine, large, IT10dG1'H, Well-equipped high school, first class in every respect. William Chrisman offers more than forty approved credits, a testimonial to the ability and thoroughness of the Board. Because of their interest and encouragement our intramural activities have been placed on a high level of attain- ment-our trophy cases are filled with the objective results of our endeavors. So here We wish to express a small part of our appreciation to our Board of Education for the many hours and work they have spent for us. We also wish to acknowledge our appreciation to Mr. Duncan, the custodian of the schools, for his faithful service. MR. A. G. DUNCAN
