FACULTY J » ’ ' T ■» » r f r r r Teaching vocational agriculture is Mr. Knopf, By showing farmers just the way to raise a crop. To Mr. Ligtvoet teaching chemistry and alge- bra is new, But with all the schools he’s gone to, he knows just what to do. Miss McElwain likes to use the chalk, And in French and English she likes to talk. When it comes to vocal music Mr. Moyer can’t be beat, ’Tho poor crowds and sometimes singers may make him feel defeat. Miss Robson teaches English and sometimes in the hall You get her talking movies, sports, and es- pecially baseball. Teaching in the commercial department is Mrs. Sim, Who is quick and exciting and very, very slim. Mr. Sim is our apprentice training coordina- tor. He’s usually quite busy so you wait and see him later. Miss Smith is in charge of Girls Physical Edu- cation. Her classes are for sports and out-door recre- ation. Teaching civics and health from treaties to tongues, Mr. Turkal has learned just how to use his lungs. With extra activities, dramatics, and speech, Mrs. Underwood has all she can possibly teach. Mr. Vanderbrook teaches farm shop and all kinds of math. For most vocations you’ll likely cross his path. Every day Mr. Withers can be found in the shop. While on the tennis courts his players really hop. There you have the teachers of “Old Hast- ings High”. We’ll always remember them as the years go marching by.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, under the direction of Mayor Ed Bush, has accomplished many things, such as: having the students repeat the Pledge of Allegiance before each assembly; heading the March of Dimes drive which netted $235.70 as compared with the $40.40 total of last year; the establishment of track and baseball as major sports and awarding letter winners of these large letters; and establishing a bulletin board commit- tee. Displaying the flag at basketball games is an- other accomplishment and an induction cere- mony for new council members was written and performed. The council has generally tried to help and benefit all of the school. The All-School Officers consist of: Ed Bush, Mayor, Audrey Newton, Public Service Chief; A1 Belsito, Traffic Manager; Tom Cleveland, Sani- tary Commissioner; and Gar Compton, Chief Justice. All of the commissions have worked hard dur- ing their terms. The Traffic Commission has re- vised the moniter system, helped to promote safe- ty in and around schix'l, and has disconnected dis- turbing passing bells during assemblies. The Public Service Commission co-ordinated with the Traffic Commission to revise the fire alarm system. These Commissions have printed and posted signs directing places of escape The Public Service Commission also established noon hour recreation for boys and girls basketball, ping pong, and softball.
