fbiaeclau The Board of Education and Superintendent Earl H. Hanson have put in another busy year maintaining the high standard of education they have set in the Rock Island public school system. Seeing that all pupils in the Rock Island system get the best of training and guidance is a subject close to the hearts and heads of the members of the board and the superin- tendent. Rock Island senior high school had a num- ber of changes mapped out for it. Students did not get out of school until 3:20 this yearg on the other hand, they enjoyed a leisurely 25- minute lunch period. In order to save time and confusion, the board of education instituted this year a new system of registration between semesters. Un- der the new system, students do not lose three days of school in the middle of the year but do their re-registering during school. MR. EARL HANSON The board has now eliminated the midyear graduate. For several years no children have been admitted to the first grade in the middle of the year, and this year is the last in which students were graduated in January. Mr. Earl H. Hanson, Mr. Milton H.
