John T. Jensen, Superintendent This year the school board has two retiring members, Mr. Hornecker and Mr. Meierjurgen. Mr. Hornecker has served on the board for 13 years. He is a long-time resident of Hillsboro and has a long civic activity record. In ad- dition to serving on the board he operates a tree farm. Mr. Meierjugen has served five years on the Hilhi board. He is also a long-time resident of Hillsboro and has served on various boards before. Mr. Hesse was appointed in 1957 to fill an unexpired term. He has since been elected twice for five year terms. Dr. Hutchinson, a local physician, is serv- ing his third term. Mr. Smith, elected in 1960, is board chair- man. He is very active in civic affairs. Mrs. Merrill is now serving as clerk of the board in addition to being Mr. Jensen's secret- ary. The Hillsboro school board is responsible for introducing bonds and issues. The high- lights of this year's activities were purchasing a new school site and introducing a bond issue for improvement of the communityls athletic fields. Minor Hesse Roland Hornecker Dr. R. E. Hutchinson Herman Meierjurgen Wilma Merrill, Clerk Vernon Smith The 'Big Four' This has been a very good year, with fewer problems than usual, said Superintendent Jensen. Crowded class- rooms have long plagued Hilhi, but since the addition of East junior high, the problem is no longer so pressing. How- ever, Mr. Jensen felt classroom relief would be needed by 1969. Mr. Jensen's responsibilities go far beyond the walls of Hilhi, since he also supervises the junior highs in the dis- tricts. He is responsible for school policies, maintenance of buildings, bus routing, the budget and school calender, and selecting teachers. From the vantage point of his many years of experience, Mr. Jensen offered two pointers to students: Good citizen- ship in school will lead to better citizens in the community. A class is a unit, you aren't remembered as an individual, but as a class. So work and play together, make a good class--one that will be remembered. 8

Teachers human? Impossible, or is it? From the looks of these four, teachers seem quite amiable. During lunch, Miss Greenfield and Mr. Henry eat ice cream cones as Mr. Snyder and Mrs. McKinstry rest and prepare for aftemoon classes. The Hilhi faculty has one main goal: to help its students learn and mature into strong responsible Americans. Many hours of after-school time are spent working toward this goal. We as students salute you as instructors for helping us through out forma- tive years, even though we sometimes rejected help at the time. 7

rule the roost james Davis-B-Principal Administrators ponder over many problems As principal of Hilhi, Mr. Davis has a full schedule manage ing all the affairs of the school. Most students do not realize the great amount of work involved in coordinating their regist- ration, although it is known to all that Mr. Davis supervises attendance and discipline. A former P.E. teacher and football coach, he understands the problems which arise within the school. Class schedules and changes, IBM records, evalua- tion of credits, student orientation, and coordination among teachers are all concerns of the principal. Having served as a dean of boys before his appointment to the position of vice principal, Mr. johnson is experienced in handling discipline and attendance problems. I-le approves boys, absentee excuses and keeps a record of all pupil discip- line. As supervisor of school activities, such as games and dances, and coordinator of the student social Calendar, Mr. Johnson probably has the closest contact with the student body. Mr. Carder, curriculum director, is Hilhi's man behind the scene. I-le advises the curriculum programs of both the high school and junior high schools, and he helps determine the grouping of classes. Teaching aids and materials, and ref- ence books used in the various departments are the result of Mr. Carderls study and planning. His responsibilities include the arrangement of the courses, publicity, fees, and classrooms for adult night classes at the high school. Richard johnson--Vice Principal W.
