 HEMINGFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS Any high school may be said to exist for the purpose of aiding the youth to attain the truest citizenship and the highest success in life. As Hemingford is cen- trally located in the county and not close to any other large high school, the Board of Education is equipping it so that it may serve its purpose. Any student finishing the Hemingford high school may enter the University of Nebraska without taking entrance examinations as our school is fully accredited. The equipment of our school is adequate and sufficient for thorough work in all the departments in which work is given. Each year additional equipment is added to the Physics and Laboratory departments that these classes may keep up to the State re- quirements. We have a growing library of books and encyclopedias. Up to date record- ing and modern library methods are being used. The new Hemingford high school building is being erected at an estimated cost of a little less than $70,000 and is modern in every way. The finishing work is being done at the present time and the building will be complete in every way for fall work. The class rooms and assembly are ample in size and are pleasantly arranged. A large gymnasium is built in the building, with shower rooms and dressing rooms for boys and girls. The entire high school curriculum is devised and carried through with these ends in view; to provide the best foundations for a college education in case pupils are able to press on and secure this larger privilege and to enable the student to fit himself for practical work in life in case he does not proceed with advance work in education. It is for the latter aim that commercial work is to be added in the next year’s schedule. The town of Hemingford is located on a level fertile table land. Being on the State Highway and the main line of the Burlington, it is a thriving, growing little town. Hotels, residences, private boarding places, furnished and unfurnished apartments offer splendid accommodations to either individuals or families that might wish to locate here during the school year or to make them a permanent home. We extend a cordial invita- tion to all high school folks to be with us next fall at the opening of school and we will strive to make the entire year a pleasant and profitable one. C. A. ELKINS, Superintendent of Schools. 6
