I hroughout the nation, all school units and districts have a guiding group behind them which receives very- little public attention. 1 his group of men, from all walks of life, devote many tireless hours to the Community schools. 1 he only remuneration these men receive is the actual proof of seeing the community become a better place to live, due to better educational facilities. Reference is made to Boards of Education. Our Board of Education is elected by the public and not more than three of its seven members can be from any one township. As long as the people continue to elect capable men to the Board of Education our schools will continue to progress. « 8 Mr. H. L. Price. B.S.

I he game produced two touchdowns for the Hornets with another being called back. 1 he f lornet s came through the season with only a few casualties. 1 he coming years should become brighter for football with several good prospects among the underclassmen. All but two games were played at home with good crowds in attendance. Schedule: Ml. Sterling Opponent Winchester Here 0 33 Hamilton Here 0 44 I. S.

They have a good chance of bettering this record in 1953 as they lost only two players from last year s squad. Th e statistics for the season show the Hornets batting 359 times and getting 83 safe hits for a team average of .231. Out of 19 boys coming to the plate. 14 hit safely and chalked up 79 runs. Last season a trophy was awarded to the Hornets with the highest batting average. Don Brooks won this with an average of .371. Seniors on last year s tram were Larry Patterson. Bob Clark.
