HOOLBO RD UR school board had done all within their power to give us tools and materials necessary to our educative process. They spend long hours in school board meetings. We, the class of 1953, are very fortunate, in- deed, to have witnessed the splendid improvement provided by our board with the fine co-operation of our principal, Mr. Turek. We got new stage curtains, new folding bleachers, new cafeteria, new tiled floor in the main corridor, new home economics room, new sidewalks and paved parking lot during our senior year. We appreciate all these improvements because without the co-operation of our fine school board, these things would never have been accomplished. We, the class of 1953, have been fortunate to have had witnessed the approval of the new Elementary school for which ground should be broken before our school term opens. 4
