 1 SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE J. S. Holeman, Superintendent of Schools When I came to the Star City School each room was equipped with a wood stove. The insurance was being cancelled on the High School Building as the policies expired. I went to work, with the approval of the Board, for a steam heating system. The contract was let in August 1944. The system was put into operation in January 1945 after six months of constant work trying to get the equipment.

We now have thirty-two lights; enough for the football park. I have organized six classes for on-the-job training for Veterans. At this time there are more than one hundred veterans enrolled in these classes. The subjects or types of training are agriculture, auto mechanics, carpentry, and bookkeeping. In the spring of 1945 I went before members of the State Department of Education asking for a permit for a bond issue to build a Gymnasium. After many conferences I was able to get the first permit from the State Board of Education since before the beginning of World War IL In July of 1946, I went before the Civil Production Authority and secured the permit to build the Gym- nasium.
