d 4 III I1 ll 2 s Tr 3 at 1 OJfl The following elements make up the Administration: the superin¬ tendent, the faculty, the administrative assistants, the office staff, and the Board of Education. These elements join together to form the core of our educational system here at BTI IS and are responsible for the orderly way in which our school functions. The faculty are the people who have taught us how to make use of what we learn. They’ve scolded and punished us, hut more often they have encouraged and understood us. We have thought that they didn t like us at times, but instead they’ve been helpful friends in cor¬ recting our shortcomings and trying to make us live up to what we can do. The superintendent, his assistants, and the board of education have helped to make it possible for us to have a high school education. They are working at present on a building program to prepare for the many students who are headed this way. All of these people have guided us through our formative years. Though we might forget their names and faces in future years of activity, we will be the better for their training during our important high school years.

To Dr. Hall . . . After eleven years of devoted service as superin¬ tendent of our school, Dr. Hal O. Hall will leave this June to accept a similar position at York High School in Elmhurst, Illinois. Under the leadership of Dr. Hall, Belleville Township High School has kept pace with the times. Shortly after he became affiliated with the school the Belleville Junior College was founded. In 1955, because of increasing enroll¬ ment and a lack of space, Dr. Hall proposed a $2,800,000 bond issue which was passed by the p eople of Belleville. Although Dr. Hall has been an extremely busy man, he has always had time to smile and say hello to everyone. Many times student committees have flooded his office, asking permission and favors of him. Often, though he knew the situation to be im¬ possible, he would meet us at the door and bid us welcome. This is the man who has been our superintendent, our “boss,” and our friend for eleven years. We wish to thank you, Dr. Hall, for what you have done for our school, for our classes, and for each of us as indi¬ viduals. We wish you the best of luck in your new job which we know you will perform with utmost capability. SUPERINTENDENT, Hal O.
