Beaverton's transportation department drives its buses nearly 150,000 miles a year to make it possible for stu- dents to some to school from all parts of the 57 square mile district. In an effort to provide Beaverton students with com- fortable surroundings, the maintenance staff keeps the school well-lighted, clean, and pleasant. The cafeteria staff provides nourishing hot lunches for four separate lunch periods every day. These people work many hours to make each year at Beaverton a more enjoyable one. Mrs. Louella Day and Mrs. Mae Benson give all their attention to this hungry Beaver's needs at the Snack Bar which is open during lunch periods. V 4 A a U fxoflvmwl

MISS RUBY FESSENDEN Whitman College, B.A. English, World History Junior Girls' Counselor Using the theme Read, Discuss, Write as the basis for class procedure, English teachers present a balanced program of literature, composition and functional grammar. Constant re-evaluation has produced numerous changes in the 1959-60 curri- culum. So that each student may receive more personal attention, smaller classes have been scheduled and a teacher Work period instituted. Newly developed gram- mar essentials tests and STEP tests given in the fall and spring graphically show the student's progress for the year. Such im- provements, plus the continued use of ability grouping, help insure a solid English background for every student. DONALD SCHUMAN Reed College, B.A. English Chess Club MRS.
