One Corridor Leads to Learning. The weH-prepored secondary school student can do excellent work for her college, her country, and herself in later years. Hillsdole girls are given this kind of preparation, not 0th in classes but also in the extru-curriculor activities which are planned to compiement her academic schedule. Within the past few years Hillsdoie has switched to on inter-deportmentol English program. In addition to the content of a history paper, students are graded on the expression and syntax in it. This year French and Spanish tables were arranged in the Iunchroom. The teacher and students at these tables could speak only the respective languages. The French and Spanish tables were just one ex- ample of the taculty-student relationship which exists here. Teachers take 0 special interest in the individuoi student's work. Especially in the younger grades, foc- ulty members try to cultivate a girils interests, The teacher may show 0 girl the hallway which will best develop her abilities, but it is Up to the student her- self to follow this corridor to the point where she achieves her ideals.

The Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees is on essential port of Hills- clole School and also of Lotspeich. It is the governing body, elected by the school corporation, and is com- posed of fourteen parents and alumni of the schools, who serve on rotating four year terms. The trustees constitute the only continuing body for representing the parents who can own the school. There are many matters which constantly keep them busy: the maintenance and operation of both schools, planning and directing any major improve- ments involving the school, and deciding the general area of curriculum and the general size of the facul- ties. They set the policies in all matters of both schools and make decisions on the budget and tuition fees. Any legal problems which pertain to either school are brought before this body. The board has carefully planned every addition and seen every detail through to the end. The con- cern for better education for their children and grandchildren makes the board a hordeorking and conscientious group who work enthusiastically on any proiect or problem. We cure grateful to the board for their time and energy spent on behalf of making Hillsdale a better, higher quality school. Miss BrokaWwassistanf head.
