presents its report for the triennium 1950—1953.

The constituency of the Board was changed by the 1950 dele-
gate convention by the addition of a teacher. The term of office
was also lengthened to six years. In order to put the new plan into

a six-year term and three for a three-year term. In 1951 Pastor

asked to be released in order to take a position on the District
Board of Directors. Upon the unanimous invitation of the Board,
Pastor Erwin Paul of Forest Park took his place. In 1952 Mr. Fred

of valuable service to the school. No replacement has been made
at this writing. The following were designated for the six-year
term as Board members: Pastor Erwin Paul, Mr. Emil Ruprecht,
and Dr. Waldemar Link. Accordingly, the following will finish
their terms of office this June: Mr. Alwin Roschke, Mr. Walter
Péckat, and the successor to Mr. Fred Linstead. One teacher and
‘two laymen will therefore need to be elected at the delegate con*
