1963 REVIEW HART HIGH SENIORS Administration DAVIS and CORBIN RE-ELECTED TV IN HART SCHOOLS NEW TEACHERS At the annual school election in July Dr. Davis and Jack Corbin were re-elected to three year terms to serve on the Board of Education. The Board then chose Tom Foster as President. The Board is striving to maintain a high standard of education for all pupils in the district and to those who come into Hart. SHOP STUDIES ADDED The addition of an industrial arts department was a must when the new building was constructed. For the first time this year shop classes are being offered on a full time basis. The program is quite adequate for a beginning. A general shop type program in blueprint reading, general woodwork, metal work and electricity is offered. Advanced work in these and other areas will be added as needed. The five sections of beginning students are attaining the objectives as evidenced by the many interesting projects being undertaken by the pupils. The Central Michigan Educational Television Council has announced that the Hart Public Schools are among those using programs prepared at its direction and broadcast over local stations as part of their regular classroom instructional program. These lessons are video-taped by teachers in studios at C.M.U. and broadcast by Station WMTU channel 9 from Cadillac each weekday morning in the time period from 9:00 to 10:00. Classes being used involve most of school population and include: science for grades 5 and 6 and, also, for grades 7 and 8: a conservation program for use in either Junior or Senior High, arts and crafts for the elementary grades and American government and economics for the 12th grade. Most unusual is the 12th grade government program where the seniors meet for two hours on Tuesday and Wednesday and one hour on Friday to watch the television lectures and participate in class discussions. CURRICULUM STUDY Mr. Spratt Illness forced Mr. Spalding of Britton, our agricultural teacher, to resign at Christmas. The Board was successful in filling the vacancy with Mr. Tom Spratt. His home is in Bangor and he had just graduated from Michigan State University. Miss Sue Bellon in the English department married in February and resigned. A special study is being made of new methods of teaching Modern Math, Science and English and possible changes in the course of study for next year. Miss Ellen O'Donnell, a graduate of Michigan State, from Morency was hired to fill this vacancy. (Picture not available)

1963 REVIEW HART HIGH SENIORS FOREWORD The HARTIAN Staff decided on the theme 1963 Review for its annual. Attempts have been made to feature the highlights of the school happenings. The activities of each group are important to those specific ones involved. However, due to space the staff endeavored to select those events involving many students. The staff is composed of seniors who volunteer to spend thought and time in planning and doing the many necessary details involved in creating a book. This year's HARTIAN contains many old ideas and some new ones in its make-up. The personnel of the staff feel cer- Sdiforial tain that the 1963 HARTIAN will prove a future source to refresh many memories of high school days. WHAT HIGH SCHOOL MEANS TO ME Pausing a moment as I graduate from Hart High and leave for unknown fields lying ahead, I recall our class motto, The future could be made much brighter if everyone would strike a match to die candle of knowledge. Four years—what have I done with them, or they with me? Have I lighted candles to brighten my pathway and that of others? Rushing in on me are memories of hours spent in the classrooms in the attempt to acquire knowledge useful for the future; of favorite and disliked subjects; of teachers spending much effort, both in and out of school, to aid me in my search for knowledge; of words of encouragement, counsel and suggestions, examples in conduct, etc. which have been absorbed, never to be forgotten; of friendships with both boys and girls, (some I hope to keep always); of football and basketball victories with their wild enthusiasm; of the band and concerts; of plays and the fun rehearsing; of die Homecomings; of banquets and proms and all the decorating. These memories and others come tumbling vividly into my mind's eye, bringing a mixture of joy and sadness, as my high school days draw to a close. The future bids me to come and so Good-by, High School Days, but many memories will go with me as aids and encouragements along my journey of life. Back: P. Peters, J. Schiffeneder, K. Marshall, F.
