EVERYWHERE AT HALL are interesting people we know. It's you or your gang, members of every class, It is even the teachers who meet for friendly chats or for doughnuts and coftee in Mr. Bouchez's ofllce . lt's the school board, too. It's mostly us, though. Remember how we whizzed through some classes and slaved through others? Remember how we loated in the halls and outdoors at noon hour, and then had to hurry to beat the bell to get to our next class? Remember?

THE MEN OF THE YEAR ...... in our Life are the eight men who have served together approximately fourteen years as members of the Hall Township High and Voca- tional School Board of Education. They have given hours of unselfish and intelligent devotion for the common good of all the community. Be- cause they have shown understanding, judicial competence, vision, courage, sincerity, unselfish- ness, and team work, their work has been one of unusual significance to all of us. Under the direction of these men, there has been a steady growth of progress at Hall, both in physical equipment and in educational stan- dards. Improvements in our physical plant have been numerous. The curriculum has been broadened to meet the increasing needs which domestic and world situations demand of our young boys and girls. The educational staff, with increased training, has gradually been enlarged from sixteen to twenty in number. The repeated Hunqualifiedly approved recognition, which has been given to Hall year after year by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, is indicative of the excellent work which has been accomplished. This spring Dr. George E. Kirby, who has led the board for fourteen years as their president, resigned. The increased amount of time which he must give to his professional duties made the resignation necessary, however, the knowledge that he will always have a deep personal regard and a continued interest in the welfare of Hall and in the progress of the community comes as a reassuring note because his record has been a splendid one. lt is to our MEN OF THE YEAR , the Hall Township High and Vocational School Board of Education, that we proudly dedicate the l95i HALL LIGHT.
