THE PASSING OF THE YEARS Five years ago was recorded in the annals of Hall an incident which was to have a great bearing on the future literary achievements of Hall Township High. Five years ago the students of our school were fired with the vim and enthusiasm to bring out the first “Hall Light.’’ Poor as the first product may have been, criticized as it surely was, yet it marked a remarkable step in advancement. It was from the point of view of numbers, finance and material, a colossal undertaking, yet it was successful. Each year has seen the pi-oduction of a better “Hall Light.” Each year the work has been carried on; each year new and better ideas have been added. In this, our fifth anniversary book, we have striven to give our readers some idea of the swift and steady march of progress which has been made within this period of five years. Various-changes have taken place in the school. New organizations have been added. There has been a steady increase in activities and students. These enlargements have meant more space in our book of deeds, until ihe “Light” which was at first hardly discernable is casting its rays beyond the portals of Hall. Historical Background For the art theme of the Light of ’25 we have chosen an American history motif. In the title pages and in the panel backgrounds we have endeavored to cany out this motif by depicting several of those significant events which are a part of our American heritage. The vastness of the theme has compelled us to limit the scope of subject matter to the early historical period of discovery, colonization and struggle for the freedom which recognized the equality of mankind and made us a free and independent nation.
