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.

PRINCIPAL Mr. Jones relaxes with a magazine. Great fortitude is required of the youth of today to de- termine and then do that which is right. The numerous pressures being heaped on young people requires them to adjust or be lost. Who is right — The tobacco manufacturer with the glib advertising or the Surgeon General with the statistics against smoking; The liquor interests or the WCTU and Alcolholics Anonymous; The President in his pursuit of peace or his adversary who prefer a different course than being followed? It is our hope that you have gained in the Hollidaysburg Community Joint Senior High School the necessary ingredi- ents to give you the fortitude to enable you to stand up and be counted to do that which is best for your fellow man and your country. Mr. Jones Miss Heinbaugh and Mrs. Harper 14 Miss Beach
