The people of Rockville Centre: are glad to know that Mr. Ives has con- sented to serve on the Board of Edu- cation for another term of three years. | He was elected a member of the board in May, 1915, and he has been president of the board for five years. During his administration as presi- projects have been carried out, viz.: the eree- tion of Riv!rsixte School two years ago in the Southern section of Rock- ville Centre, and the pure of a five acre site on which a half million dollar high school is in course of con- struction. ~ Mr. Ives is a graduate of the Rock- ville Centre schools.
