Under the direction of Neal Gallant, president of the Board of Education, major changes were made in the school system of York. New lighting and furniture were installed in the grade schools, Noon hours were altered in all of the schools as the Board made available the hot-lunch program. During the year, high school students saw their hopes fulfilled as a new football field was land- scaped and sodded. Plans to complete the track were made. Board members realized the need for expanding present facilities of the schools. Plans were drawn up for additions to the High School and Willard Grade School. Often the average student saw only a strict governing body who issued decrees questionable to the happy-go-lucky students, Board members were guiding and planning in order to serve the people of the city and especially the students in the public schools. They realized the importance of the education of the younger genera- tion in making a better world of tomorrow. The ful- fillment of the policies of York's educational system was the main objective of this organization, A wide range of occupations were represented by the six members. Representing the farmers were Robert Keefe, Neal Gallant, plumber, and Ralph Misko, executive vice president of the First National Bank. Mrs. Robert Crooks and Mrs. Oscar Swanson listed housewife as their occupations, Robert Moline was co-owner of P and M Motors. Their achievements were outstanding because of their skill in cooperating and understanding persons and institutions which they contacted during the year.
