IMPROVED FACILITIEES ADDED TO SCHOOLS REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS, NEW EQUIPMENT WILL HELP THIS YEAR’S STAFF ' The old order changeth, yield- ing place to new. . . ” Responding to the dynamic trend of today, the physical aspect of the Hebert public school system has undergone several changes since school closed last spring. Many replacements, repairs, and hew materials have been added to the schools this fall. The biology department now has wat r facilities and a new seascope. A portable saw, drill press, planer, and grinder have been purchased for the building trades classes. Mr. Martin has remodeled the wood- shop, converting it into a general shop in which are included wood- work, metal work, and electrical work. The commercial classes have four new typewriters, and th ' e printing upp has new type and a new type cabinet. Several new lockers were purchased i n order to eliminate the necessity of crowding three persons into one locker, as was done last year. The High School library now is in Room 321, the former music room, and the music room now is in Room 313. Maple floors and new tread on the stairs have improved the cen- frol portion of the main High School building. The door leading from the High School hall into the girls’ locker room has been widened. Two fireproof filing cabinets will be installed in the office for stud- ents records. Desk-chairs have been purchased for one room in the High School.

Miss Horne, class sponsor in charge, reoorted that the project was so successful that the entire supply has been exhausted. “The student body cooperated splendid- ly, she said. The opportunity through the pag es of this publication to convey ai expression of gratitude to the stud ents, teachers, and citizens of th community is greatly appreciated it there were any misgivings anc doubt upon my part regarding ; new and strange situation, thej w f re Quickly and permanently dis- solved by the genuine courtesy anc friendliness of all with whom J have come in contact. This com- munity has come to be home in a miraculously short time. Such rap- id orientation on my part has left me with a firm conviction that the students, parents, and citizens want and intend to have the finest school n northwestern Indiana. Likewise he teachers share that determina- tion. There remains nothing but the cooperative action and the achievement that follows that act- ion for the community to realize that very desirable goal. I am privileged to pledge the energies and talents of the teaching staff to such an attainment. There is no finer student body than that of Hobart High. There is no more efficient teach- ing staff than the one you have. There is no more cooperative and interested community than our own. The existence of such a combin- ation presages the finest year in the history of the public schools of our city. It is a genuine privilege to be a part of and to participate in the program that will lead to such a goal. WILLIAM F KENDALL PRINCIPAL HOBART SCHOOLS HIRE TEN NEW TEACHERS WILLIAM A.
