Board Improves School System Cooperation, u n d e r standing. and whole-hear. cd interest in the social and educational develop- ment of the Coalinga Union High School have characterized the en- deavors of the Board of Trustees during the 1936-37 school year. Among the outstanding im- provements to the school campus and to the community which the Board has made under the Presi- dency of E. M. Hanst were: the lighting of two of the new tennis courts and plans furthered to light all of them; the interest shown in the athletic department with the construction of the S00- capacity bleachers for the foot- ball and track field; the plans for the construction of a lighting system in order to make night football and track possible; and plans carried through for the ad dition of our local branch of the Fresno State College. A member expressed the senti- ment of the board in the follow- ing words: Continuous changes are everywhere seen in our edu- cational system because the raw material of life, as placed at our disposal, commends it. There is almost an infinite variety of choice and their wise selection depends on the house of life they shall build. The trustees expressed them- selves as being well satisfied with the efficient staff of teachers in the high school and the coopera- tion from Superintendent and Principal C. L. Geer, and Vice : Principal T. A. Ellestad.
