I N TROD UCTOR Y ' Qxfx.fxrQy THE CLASS OF 1917 submit for your approval the first volume of The Moo. VVe do this with a certain amount of pride for it is the first successful attempt yet made to produce an, annual at Holstein High School. It is our sincere hope that the classes that follow us will not permit a lapse in the publication of The Moo. i In order that We might choose a suitable name for the annual, a contest was instituted. We believe that the name selected in best suited to our needs. It is the desire of the class'thatf'The Moo shall be the permanent name of the Holstein High School Annual, also, that the Annual shall be in the colors of the school, Orange and Black. 1 A In 1918 the Annual shall be put out by the .classes of 1918 and 1919, and in 1919iby the class of 1920 alone. After this the Junior Class Will put out the Annual. t A -Editor.

Board of Education -544444-44444 . vvvvvvvvvvvv WHEN THE PRESENT Board of Education came into office they faced a serious problem. The school building was inadequate. They immediately attacked the problem from all sides and conquered it before conditions became too alarming. 1 At first they considered constructing an addition to the old building but owing to the impract- ibility of remodeling, this plan was discarded. Plans were then drawn up for a new up-to-date building which would be large enough for many years to come. Their plans ,met with approval of the public showing that the towns people had confidence in their representatives in .school affairs. Accordingly bonds were issued and work on thenew building started in the spring of 1916. But progress was slow owing to the scarcity of supplies so the building was not ready for oc- cupancy before December 11, 1916. B B 1 . A p t The building is 1172184 and three stories high. It has a good system of ventilation and heating and is equipped with modern up-to-date equipment. The Board also adopted the Six-Six plan of organization. Owing to the demand for some course which would prepare the pupils for the bus- iness of life at the completion of their High School work, a utility course was installed in theHol- stein High School. Four courses are offered in the Holstein High School: Classical, Commercial, Industrial and Scientific. . 1 r q S ' The people of Holstein may well feel proud of the men who have thus labored for the better- ment of the educational system in their town. In the coming years the new school building of Hol- stein will stand as a monument to the thoughfulness, thoroughness and 'courage of the present Board of Education. r ' 1 -By the Editor.
