Prior to this date, the surrounding country supported five elementary districts which were and are, district 14, Hermistong district 12, Columbia, district 26, Cold Springsg district 115, Minnehahag and district 8, Westland. These districts united formed the present school, U-9. 'kiri' The Union High School affairs are managed by a board of direct- ors, consisting of one representative from each district. The rep- resentative serves for a five-year term and one is elected each year by popular vote. Board members are: H. M. Sommerer, chairman, Ralph Rich- ards, A. H. Norton, E. L. Jackson, Dale Tucker and Superintend- ent of Schools, W. G. Kersbergen. The goal of our high school course is to further our education in the direction of the life which the future holds. After a student graduates he must choose the position he Wishes to strive for in his life to come. For four years he has studied and has obtained his pre-vocational education. . 0 Under the present circumstances there is special emphasis on choosing a vocation that will promise a good future. The teachers urge each person to secure all he can from the courses he takes, and take advantage of this great opportunity.
