Q1 Eslggv W. Luvff Elias XOHNMR SESS FL LL ' RANDA ADRON yXxNDE MgS. . R9 XOW ft FLENUNG We BROWN PM-NK ' BEHIND the many activities that make up the life of William Chrisman is the very eflicient Independence Board of Education. Much of the progress of the school is due to the untiring efforts of this Willing group of individuals. Mr. John Hinde is the able secretary of the board. The board approved Mr. Street's idea of using the college plan of con- ducting the study periods of the students, placing the responsibility upon the student. , The Wise expenditure of the district funds enables our school to have excellent equipment and to offer more than forty commendable credits. To teach these various subjects, the board has carefully chosen an eflicient' corps of instructors who teach the students not only school lessons but also how to make the best use of their leisure time.

JOHN A. SEA ALBERT M. OTT JOHN W, DAWS 1884--1915 1915-1936 1901-1926 HIS YEAR it is fitting that We remember and pay tribute to the former board members who helped make our school one to be proud of, and Who assisted us in striving to achieve our ideals. They were faithful, en- thusiastic, and rendered untiring service. They set a high standard for their successors. In 1921 the first Women served on the Board: Mrs. W. B. Dickinson served twelve years 5 Mrs. William Erickson served nine years and was fol- lowed by Mrs. Jesse Martin. Mr. John A. Sea Was a capable president of the board most of his twenty-six years of service. Also serving as pres- ident, Mr. Albert M. Ott was an inspiration to the rest of the group. Mr. John W. Davis was first a member and later a most efficient secretary. Mr. Van Smith and Mr. Emil Helff performed their duties admirably. We are also grateful for the steadfast Work of other members. Mr. Duncan, faithful custodian for twenty years, was a friend to all. Mr. Kreeger has succeeded Mr. Duncan. GD C 5 YUKEEGR Q Cu roman 9 X 1'
