Various forms of creativity permeate the stream of activities and diffuse into the spirit of the students at Hall. The use of words and actions in a dramatic scene, the use of color, shape, and line on the canvas, or the reverberating sounds of music echoing through the auditorium, all encompass the depths of personal involvement and add to the heightening of creative endeavors at Hall. The task falls to the actor, the artist, and the musician to preserve the creative accomplishments of the past and to insure the continuity of human enlightment. 14

Many people are involved in bringing to Hall students the best possible education. Planning is begun with the Board of Education and policies are formulated by them to insure the highest quality in educational opportunities. The principal and assistant principal are responsible for carrying out the policies established by the board. Supervising a staff of 28 teachers and a student body of over 500 requires seemingly endless hours of work. The faculty assumes multiple roles in shaping the students’ lives. Teachers instill knowledge and standards of ethics in the students. Hall students benefit not only from the experience of the veteran teachers but also from the enthusiasm and ideas of the new teachers. Counselors assist in preparing students for a future in their suited roles. Advice on high school curriculum and suggestions for summer jobs and future plans are only a few of the many services offered by counseling. Very important to the smooth running of the school is the office secretary who handles the daily supply of never-ending details. Behind the scenes, but responsible for the well-kept building and grounds, are the custodians. Their work goes on around the clock. The cooks have the daily job of feeding hungry students a balanced and tasteful noon meal. Working together, these people produce a smooth-running school where students have many educational opportunities.
