She peers over her glasses when a whisper is heard— That’s Miss Barnes of the library where mum is the word.”

BOARD OF EDUCATION We have on our school board some of the most efficient members of this community. They are elected by the taxpayers and take an active interest in the educational functions of the Hastings Public Schools. Our school board meets the second Monday of every month and has as its officers: Dr. George Lockwood, president: Mr. Harold Foster, secretary; Dr. DeForest Walton, treasurer; Mr. Hubert Cook and Mr. Charles Paul, trustees. They are responsible for the new equipment in the cafeteria and the new athletic field upon which work is being done each year. The board also sponsored national defense schools, one of which was held in the shop at night under the instruction of Mr. Conklin. The other is held in Frank Sanders’ machine shop under the instruction of Mr. Sanders and Mr. George Stowell. This shop has been running twenty-four hours a day. This board, which we are proud to have as our school board, has done everything within its power to make this school system one of the best.
