HALL - 1956 We Learned Since everyone is talking about modern education, the time seems to call for reflection—reflection about the way we live education at Hall High. Here we have our choice of forty-two courses designed to meet our individual needs and interests. Here we have twenty-five classroom and laboratories, a gymnasium and a library with more than 1,500 volumes to assure us of up-to-date instruction. The anticipation of larger enrollments in the near future, however, necessitates serious consideration in the possible addition of more classroom space, a new home economics department, the increased capacity of locker space, as well as band facilities and a new cafeteria. Hall High continues to be a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Illinois Association of School Boards. REASONING and discussion develop our minds and provide foundations for clear thinking in the future. READING, the basis for our personal progress, is so important that we constantly work to improve it by increasing our speed and comprehension.
