Board of Education l in this group Will be long remembered and will stand as an aim to be achieved by his successors. A Mrs, Dickinson and Mrs. Erickson have the distinction of being the first ladies to serve on the Board of Educa- tion. They both were faith- ful Workers Whose services were a great help. Their successors are Mrs. Adron Randall and Mrs. Jesse continuing their good Work. Mr. John Davis, another faithful member, also served on the Board of Education for many years. His services Were valuable and greatly appreciated. The present president, Mr. Albert M. Ott, is an outstanding worker and an inspiration to the rest of the group. He has served our community faithfully for many years as a Board member and is certainly deserving of his office. Much credit should be given to the secretary, Mr. John Hinde. He is a very efficient worker and has performed the duties of his office in a pleasing manner for several years. The present Board members are all giving their services to one of the best causes in the community, and the results of their efforts are to be commended. The students of William Chrisman Wish to express their thanks to the Board of Education for the services they have received from it. Life has been made pleasanter for the faculty and students of William Chris- man this year through the Work of Mr. William Kreeger, head custodian, and his coworkers, Mr. George Bullock, Mr. Bert McKim, Mr. John W. Poole, Mr. William Thompson, Mr. John Greer, and Mr. Toni Ritter.

Hanthorn. He is one to whom any and all students may go for advice when they are in diliiculty and be certain of receiving wise counsel, encouragement, and aid in the solution of their problems. Mr. Hanthorn is always ready and waiting to give his fine co- operation in any worthwhile undertaking the students attempt. Because of his broad education, he is capable of conducting nearly any class and is glad to help us with our lessons. His long experience in managing not only the regular schedule of classes, but all the extra organizations as well, has given him the ability to cope with situations new to the students, and MR- l' N' HANTHORN they are assured that his suggestions are reliable. Perhaps this intelligent, dependable personality is one of the reasons why non- resident students choose to attend William Chrisman. Mr. Hanthorn's friendliness encircles everyone who comes to the school and makes them happier. To him the student body feels a debt of gratitude that they cannot express in words, but it is a debt that they will not soon forget. ' Not less appreciated by the Chrisman students than he who presides over the office, is his secretary, Mrs. L. E. DeShazo. Besides efficiently taking care of the regu- lar routine of office duties, she manages to do the little things that have endeared her kind, cheerful, and sympathizing personality to those who attend Chrisman. This year Miss Josephine Comboy, assistant to Mrs, DeShazo, has become a familiar figure. Her friendliness and utter lack of an air of superiority in dealing with both students and teachers assure her of being kindly remembered by those who graduate this year, and being looked for by the undergraduates when school opens next September.
