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.

Miss Shoemaker checks a book out of the library for a student. and Learning An essential part of any school is a good library. At Hiiisdcle the iibrory provides most of the books the students use throughout the year. For those doing research in English, history, or science, there are num- erous reference books. Spanish and French students can find books in either language to read. There are also copies of French magazines. Entertaining books in the fiction section are ottered for girls in all grades. One new addition to the library is the shelf de- voted to paperback books. All college catalogues were moved to the library from the office this year. This not only gives Mrs. Brill and Mrs. Goodall more room in which to work, but is also more convenient for the students. Those who wish to brush up on current events may read The New York Times and the various maga- zines to which the school subscribes. Equally important to the school is 0 good librarian. Miss Shoemaker keeps the catalogue cards in order and up to date, checks out books, and informs stu- dents if their books are overdue. She is familiar with the books in the library and can assist the girls in finding reference material and choosing fiction books. The library is used for reference work as well as quiet study.
