Mr. Spo«en baa bean e tr ustee at this school district for a «ood many yean and has been chairman of the Beard since the death of John Goto nor. It may be also said that that* has never been a program of eon struction or advancement in the Belt schools since his membership on the Board that Mr. Spogen has not found with his shoulder to the wheal pushing and boosting to the beet ot his considerable ability. " He has never favored e teacher bo cause of her religion and has nevm opposed a teacher because of her re Hghm. In one of the periods qf industrial f or thi» city, the high school build was proposed and the bonds, six thousand dollars, were voted. Fo* this favorable action Dominic Spogen was largely responsible because his interest in and enthusiasm for the cause inspired the people of Belt with his optimism. After the building was completed it was found that in order to become •an accredited high school it was ne cessary that a science room should be equipped according to standards laid down by the state department. There was no money but the Board were not disheartened. Spogen secured a glfi of three hundred dollars from h e A C. M. Co. and with another ^ '^'r of the board obtained a total '4778.00 from popular subscription. With this sum the present equipment was secured. At this time there was no hall for H ft w aM meetings ln Um city. there was no gymnasium. Thererinm the,«® high school assembly room. Auditorium was projected and Mr. Spogen was again one of the chief 1 supporters of ths movement which ! secured for Belt a building which has repaid the district in value received a hundred times over. Bonds to the amount of $6000 were issued, the rest of the cost of the building being paid from the general fund. üp to this time thére was no county wide high school ,Ux and the school W of Bolt re aliwd the ta^i.qa. 0 , ofthe funds at their disposal for high school purposes.
