OUR BOARD OF EDUCATION The Hall Township High and Vocational School feels fortunate in having eight capable men representing various sections of the township who give their time and effort to the interests of the school. If one would stop to think of the business involved in managing a high school, he could readily discern that it is an important job — the duty of making our school a place worthy to train Mary” and Joe as future citizens of the community. Dr. George E. Kirby, president of the school board, has named five committees to work on different phases of school management. These committees are: Fuel—William J. Young, Charles Savio, Sr., Ed J. Coveny; Books—Principal C. A. Sharpe, Dr. N. H. Lynn, Dr. E. G. Marty; Building—Dr. E. G. Marty, William J. Young, Ed J. Coveny; Athletics—Ed J. Coveny, Ray Vogt, Dr. E. G. Marty; Finance—Charles Savio, Sr., Ray Vogt, Dr. N. H. Lynn. This same group of men has served the school efficiently for the past several years, and it is due to them that we have many improvements at Hall. Always alert in noting the trends in modern education, and far-sighted enough to meet this challenge, they continue to keep Hall Township High and Vocational School a school fitted to meet the educational needs of the youth of this township.

The Hall Township High and Vocational School looks at life as a whole and seeks to interpret it for the individual so that he may do better those desirable things he would do anyway. There is a regard for religion, morality, knowledge and supreme respect for the individual in our High School. Friendliness, tolerance, and understanding are promoted. The goals of education of the Hall Township High and Vocational School have been summed up as a self-realization, the establishment of human relationship, economic efficiency, and civil responsibility. These goals of education should seek to cultivate a deep regard for democratic institutions and to help in the development of the qualities of character which are of special interest in a democratic country. page ten
