Educational Progress Comes As Leaders Plan For Future ADMI We remember the administration particu- larly this year after seeing packing cases clutter- ing the halls as the superintendent and the Board of Education transferred offices, from the high school to Sixth Ward. Seven citizens serve their community as members of the Latrobe Board of Education, establishing and developing the constructive policies that have been a distinguishing feature of Latrobe's educational program for so many years. Mr. George Brown heads this year's organization, with Mr. William McCullough as Vice-president. Other board members are Mr. S. G. Rummell, Mr. H. M. Reed, Mr. Francis Harvey, Dr. G. N. Huber, and Dr. I. H. Hamill. Dr. Iohn G. Hulton, superintendent of Latrobe Public Schools, moved from his high school office on Ligonier Street to the new ad- ministration offices on Loyalhanna Avenue dur- ing the Winter. The new suite consists of two office rooms and a supply room. The business office occupies one room, while the other serves as the office for Dr. Hulton, meeting place for the Board of Education and conference room for meetings among principals and teachers. The transformation of the classrooms into offices has been complete. Mastic tile floor, sound proof ceilings, fluorescent lighting and modern office equipment carry out the new theme. The stock room has everything from a hot plate and sink to drawers for blue-prints. Dr. Hulton is the chief adminisiraiion offi- cer. He earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree at Franklin College and his Masters at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. Mr. Hulton was awarded a Doctor of Literature degree from St. Vincent. C89
