BOARD OF EDUCATION ' INDEPENDENCE SCHOOL BOARD MISS KATIE CHASTAIN, MR. MARVIN CARL. MRS. ADRON RANDALL Secretary-Treasurer ' MR' JOHN W. LUFFI DR. Fi.oYD A. YALE President Vice president MRS. L. F. P. CURRY DR. EUGENE THEISS We wish to take this opportunity to express to the members of the Board of Education the gratitude of Independence community for the time and thought which they have given to the planning for the c-ity's schools. Without the wisdom and the foresight of these men and women, school policies could not have been so beneficial nor so consistently progres- sive. Perhaps no elective body in the American system of government gives itself to the task of effecting a sound legislative program with more conscientious application than-do the school boards throughout our land. It is with pride that we name our own in this group and take this opportunity to express our appreciation. ln a very special way do we wish to voice our gratitude to Mr. John W. Luff, who has for nearly a score of years been a member of the board and is now its retiring president. Elected to the board in l93l and made president in l936, Mr. Luff has served the patrons and the youth of Independence well. He has rejoiced in the high achievement of Chrisman students in all fields of endeavor, and along with the diplomas it has been his task so long to confer, have gone Mr. Luff's best wishes for success in the future. For his wisdom, his perseverance, and his benevolent interest, we pay our sincerest tribute. I ' IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllI ..'l2.. 5 'iT- J1:':::-:ne-2.11.14-.Q-Lf.I.i.

VICE PRINCIPAL AND SECRETARIES Mr, Gregory Lefever serves the students of William Chrisman in a dual capacity: as class- room teacher and as vice- principal. His instruc- tional tasks include classes in advanced math- ematics. The greater part of his school day, how- ever, is spent in adminis- trative and clerical duties, particularly those con- cerning the attendance of resident, non-resident, and tuition pupils. In this clerical and administra- tive work Mr. Lefever is assisted most efficiently by Mrs. Mable Alley. Mr. Lefever's record at William Chrisman is a long and fine one. Good instruction, decisive ac- tion and careful planning mark his tenure here. The smooth functioning of var- ious school departments is due in no small meas- ure to Mr. Lefever. We the publishers of the I949 GLEAM wish to express our sincere thanks to Mr Lefever for his efforts to make our school life memorable for its pleasure and its profit 'kink Gregory Lefever vice principal Mable Alley secretary Susan Parobok secretary Martha Hutchens clerk Mildred Kearnes secretary 1 1 1 I - I 1 I I I - .- '
