the school, which is an agency in the educational development of youth, must fulfill its obligation. Thus, the school administration is mindful of the everfchanging pattern of education and new demands being made on the schools. The school's curriculum is flexible so as to take care of the individual needs of our pupil population and is adapted to meet the needs of ourucommunity. Additions made in our curriculum the past year were the establishment of a visual education depart' ment under trained supervision, additional general courses in the high school, participation in the revision of the elementary school curriculum by the State Department of Education, and the organization of a manual training course in the junior high school. Besides electing a new administrator and teachers, the School Board, composed of Harvey N. Hylc, president, Eugene Hamill, vicefpresidentg Martin B. Christy, Joseph R. Good, Jesse H. Wright, jr., john E. Shrum, Samuel T. Willianis, with Miss Blanche Davis as secretary to the Board, had several projects during the school year. The main project was the supervision of the construction of the new athletic field on the property north of the school. With the completion of the new athletic field, the physical education program will be more adequate for all students. In order to help hasten the completion of the athletic held several projects were sponsored by the Athletic Committee of the Board of Education. On November 11, all alumni of Hollidaysburg had a chance to participate in raising the funds by supporting the ArmyfNavy football game. Then in early December St. Francis College basketball team played Hollidaysburg Big Five basketball team, thus enabling the completion of the fence around the athletic field. Other activities carried on throughout the year by the board were: supplying the necessary instrucf tion material, and repairing the various buildings in the school district. M bl.
