Hatch Seeking association with the respected and renowned head of this concern, I crept timidly to the doorway of the designated room. Meeting Mr. Hatch allayed my fears. His kind eyes reflected depth of character. From his clear, con- cise manner I could comprehend his conscientious, tolerant, and enthusiastic attitude toward the students and the school. Knowing no hetter cache of information for my log than the new Dean of Boys, Rex Sutherland, I tipf toed to his office.

Superintendent David Gourlcy I was told I could find the stimulus activating Granite High School's program at the district office. The foremost problem facing these upper intelligences, the Board of Education and Superintendent David Gourf ley, proved to be a building project which they began last March. The edifice, which will connect the S building and Granite junior, will include a music department, a biology room, an agriculture room, an electrical lab, and an enlarged cafeteria. No doubt students will greatly appreciate this addition. Granite District Board of Education BDARD AND STAFF ENGAGE IN LONG RANGE PLANNING
