DEDICATION We dedicate to the memory of Virgil A. Kelly the 1949 HALL LIGHT. VIRGIL A. KELLY For the past six years our school and community have benefited by the services rendered by Mr. Virgil A. Kelly, who recently passed away after a long illness. There was always a feeling of warmth and friendship prevailing when in his presence. Students and faculty alike respected him for his candid statements, his high sense of humor, his loyalty to duty. Mr. Kelly was always a helper. The loss in the hearts of students and faculty might be compared to the place left by that kingly cedar, which, while still green with boughs, goes down, leaving a vacant place against the sky. -C. A. SHARPE Page four

THE SCHOOL BOARD A high school education has intrinsic value because it represents training in many fields of subject matter of both cultural and vocational significance. Because the men behind the scenes—the school board—are interested in the educational opportunities of tomorrow's citizens, they are continually working for the high standards of our school and the maintenance of the buildings in order to make pleasant the hours which the students spend at Hall. Dr. George E. Kirby, president of the board, has been leading the same group of members for several years, and his five committees—Finance, Building, Books, Athletics, and Fuel—have played a large part in making Hall High the school it is today. Dr. Norman H. Lynn, Dentistry; Ed J. Coveny, Business; Dr. Fred H. Rafhbun, Clerk, Optometry. Charles Savio, Sr., Business; Dr. E. G. Marty, Chiropractic; William J.
