Many changes in the Hollidaysburg Community Joint School Board have taken place within the past year. After July 1, 1966, the seven separate districts will no longer be in existence. They will form a joint- ure known as the Hollidaysburg Area School District. The number of students in this new district will al- most double. About seventy-five new teachers will be added to the faculty. A new committee has been formed this year which is referred to as the Interim Committee. Kenneth Ma- gill is the president of this committee; John Martin is vice-president. The Interim Committee must estab- lish a budget for the merged school districts and elect the personnel for the 1966-67 school year. Also the committee must consider matters of the operation of the school. The Interim Committee has elected Doctor John M. Hillkirk Superintendent of Schools for the next four years. The Board of Education is a vital organ of every school system. Without the aid of the Board of Edu- cation students would not enjoy the many benefits that they now receive.
