SUPERINTENDENT COMMENDS IMPROVEMENT by George Hornburg To me one of the great thrills of living comes from seeing evidence and signs of improvement. This is not confined to material things but also from indications of self-improvement. This must also be true for many of our patrons in School District No. 404 because they are making sacrifices and contri- butions to the schools that enable us to make impro- vements to our school plants and classrooms. I believe that the faculty and students, too, are im- proving methods for using our facilities. We are thankful for the geneious support from the commun- ity, and are anxious to be worthy of this sincere interest.

Hanft . , , , Fifty years ago Doctor Hoffmann began a long and faithful service to the Woodland community. Over the years he has started hundreds of us on our way. We Dr. Hoffmann babies Qand, I'm sure, all of Woodland, have often been inspired by his unselfish devotion to duty. Many changes have taken place in school facilities and school life since Dr. Hoffmann first came to our town. These changes, we hope, have been made to enable our students to meet the changing conditions of society. If we all follow Dr. Hoffmann's example of under- standing, kindliness and perseverance we shall con- tinue to grow and improve. A h any aenae H I1 tell yen, -Me.

FACULTY SPENDS HOURS OUTSIDE CLASSROOM In addition to classroom work teachers spend many hours on'lextra- curricular activities . Planning events which young homemakers take part in is one such outside activity. The affairs of all girls in school and their Girls' League is another. Music practice goes on day and night, for the disciplines of rhythm and sound do not come easy. Art work for the entire school system is wrapped up in the slight frame of able Mrs. Homburg, and this means long hours getting materials ready so youngsters may create' Identification for this page begins at top left and traces a backwards Holding the emblem of her girls' group, Gertrude Thomas, home - onomics instructor smiles in anticipation of National Future Homemaker Week .....
