Mr. and Mrs. Hibbs arrive at a banquet held at the school in Mr. Hibbs’ honor upon his retirement. Mrs. Hibbs was a great help and inspiration to her husband during his many years of service in the teaching field. A Friend Is Gone On July 10, 1968, a tragic farm accident caused the death of Harold D. Hibbs, the first superintendant of the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United School Corpora¬ tion. His death brought great sorrow in the community and his many friends. Mr. Hibbs was born December 13,1901, in Johnson County, the son of George and Martha Hibbs. He graduated from Nineveh High School in 1920, and received his Bachelor’s Degree in 1928 at Franklin College. In 1931, he earned his Master’s Degree from Indiana University. He was married to Ruby Graves. Mr. Hibbs was the principal of Nineveh school from 1928 until 1963, when he was selected the first superin¬ tendent of our school corporation. He helped in planning the new high school and set up the organiza¬ tional structure of our corporation. Harold Hibbs was a friend to all who sat in his classes, to those who sought his counsel and advice, and to those who worked with him. His contributions were many and the results of his work will benefit us for years to come. 6 -

New Courses Add Variety to School Mrs. Sichting shows Marilyn Smith and Richard Davis an interesting story about the Bible. Three courses were added to the curriculum this year. Bible Literature studies the Bible for it’s literature content and also includes the study of different religious denominations. Different ministers have been guests of the class during the year to answer the student’s ques¬ tions. World Affairs is directed by the students rather than text book oriented. The class is concerned with current events, news media, and class discussions on contro¬ versial issues such as capitol punishment and Viet Nam. “La class de espanal,” the Spanish class, began it’s first year with the students learning to speak correctly and to understand Spanish as the main goals, based on the idea that one learns his native language this way. Mr. Kuehn referees a heated debate concerning President Nixon’s stand on a foreign policy in World Affairs. Miss Bowman shows Eddie Lancaster a Spanish bullfight poster. 20 de Abril 1964 -
