School Board Here Ha*
Made Good Record
At this time of the year when in
terest is centered in school activi
ties it is well to pause and think of
the guiding force behind the stu
dents and faculty that helps keep
the school up to its standard. This
is the board of directors which is
composed this year of William Aut
enreith, chairman, Mrs.
Paul
Throne, W.
Ross and clerk Letsy
.Miller.
The board has seen to it that
Gold Hill has an excellent staff of
teachers and has made various im
provements in the school system
without raising the tax levy one
cent. All members of the board
seem to be continually on the alert
to make improvements for the
school that are possible.
In recent years the new tennis
court was completed, the gymnas
ium has been improved a great deal
new rooms have been completed to
take care of the over-crowded con
dition and many improvements
have been made in school equip
ment.
Sometime when you don’t exactly
agree with a decision of the direct
ors just pause and think how you
would like to be in their place.
Donating many hours to the school
and trying to please the many tax
payers and non-taxpayers in the
district. Also stop and think if you
were among the thirty that showed
up to vote at the last school elec
tion.
