Our NEEDS Are Met—Comfort Assured Every attempt is made to supply the needs of students outside the classroom. Additional information is pro- vided for our studies l»y the 5900 volumes to be found in our library. All 2053 of us receive lunch within a reasonable time, for fourth period classes are interrupted so that most efficient use may be made of the facilities of the cafeteria. Mr. Howard and his staff maintain the school’s build- ings and grounds. Heat to just the right degree is their chief problem. Student ’ health is guarded by the school nurse who codes complaint of a student and the number of times he reports for care. This enables her to make rec...... mendations lor medical examinations as do the various county health tests.

 Mew lo our faculty in lanuarv were Mrs. Helen Day and Miss Mary leone, who met in the lounge to compare notes. FACULTY Relax, Too See me after school,” says the teacher. I have to go to lunch now!” But, I . . . and the student stops, for he was about to say, “Must you eat? Too frequently we lose sight of the teacher as a person, sincerely inter- ested in us, but with a life outside of B-CC. We sec the teacher only as a («ranter of Grades and Enforcer of Rules. We forget that teachers relax in the lounge, hold meetings, and enjoy luncheons and picnics together. We forget that some of them arc gardeners, authors, leaders in civic organizations, or students themselves in some of the surrounding universities. A teacher's planning period in the Faculty lounge sup- plies a hot cup of coffee, a chance to read the morning newspaper, a time for casual relaxation, or a congenial atmosphere in which to correct papers.
