After the annual election and qualification of new members, the board may fix the salaries of the teachers, principals, janitors, attendance officers, school physician, nurses, and other employees.

Administration and Faculty Teachers and Administrators are traditions in themselves. They are the backbone of the school, devoted to helping students both aca- demically and socially. Teachers work not only in the classroom, but they sponsor dances, and clubs, help plan assemblies, and oversee such day-to-day things as the lunch lines. The governing body of the school also works closely with the students and the faculty. Bill Manes, principal, and Henry Martinez, vice- principal, are well acquainted with the needs of the school. Presiding over the school board for the first time this year is superintendent, Willard Ca- node. The duties of the school board include selecting teachers and balancing the school budgets. Other staff members are, Clarence Hutchison, business manager, Tom Clarkin, public relations director, and George Biltz, vice-principal. Also librarians, Lorene Oslen, and Edith Nash, nurse, Freia Kettunen, and bookstore manager, Lois Beeler assist students daily . Many more people work behind the scenes for Yuma High. They include bus drivers, maintenance men, secretaries, and cafeteria workers.
