M 0 N T E H L I L $ G o C H H 0 0 L In on effort to portray life on the Hilltop for the year 1939-40 so that it will recall to our readers their own high school days, whether past or present, we have delved into the diaries of various members of the student body, and are presenting them on the following pages. There is much to record, os school life has undergone many changes this year due to the addition of the new gym, the use of the community field and larger working quarters for the agriculture, science, and home economics departments. The introduction of physical education, with the excellent modern facilities ot hand, has been one of the most noticeable advancements. Social life has been stepped up, co-curricular activities have become more popular, and bonds between the school and community have been strengthen- ed. Montello is climbing tfie hill! Cooperating for our benefit is the Board of Education consisting of the following members: Director—Ben Neck Clerk—Emil J. Tagatz Treasurer—Mrs. Alex Ritchie Poge Two N

ANNUAL BOARD DEAR DIARY, Today we finished all the work on this Annual and oh, boy, what a job! Maybe it doesn't seem like much work to put out a yearbook, but the Annual Beard and adviser got more than one headache out of this 1940 Hilltcpper. Today, and every other day for the post few weeks, the Board has been writing, revising, rewriting, cutting, pasting, and planning the best ma- terial and arrangement for these thirty-six precious pages. Of course, the members of the staff are expected to be experts in composition, os they are all members of the Press Club, the slogan of which is to Keep eyes and ears open (not mouth). Early in the fall, the Annual Board selected several of the more active people from the Press Club to act as salesmen for their 1939-40 edition. Ever since, sales have been made thick and fast, and whoever doesn't own one of these books now must have been in hiding during the campaign, as the town and surrounding territory were literally combed. I never will forget the day we signed the contract with Mr. Earl for publish- ing the Hilltopper. There surely was excitement galore among those most concerned when it was reported that he had been seen in the halls, ready to close the deal with us. Maybe you think we didn't feel important! Then there were those other big days when Mr. Liesman came to take the pictures The Board members were kept particularly busy then running around the building rounding up the groups whose pictures were to be shot next. Hal of the students didn't even recognize each other dressed up in their Sunday best. (Maybe that explains why some of the Freshmen wandered in with the Senior play cast.) So, with the satisfaction of having completed a job well, we present Volume II of the The Granite Hilltopper. Adieu ■4| Poge Four )►
