Library-Drivers Training-Are Pupil Aids Mrs. Kathryn K. Bossuyt Mr. Jack Spilsbury Mrs. Bossuyt is pictured at left showing Tim Russ and Patty Anderson how to use the card catalogue. The library is a materials center, a reading center, and an information and fact- finding center. The library is a laboratory where students and faculty may supplement and complement the educational program of the school through the use of library materials. Study hall is designed to cut down on the amount of homework a student will have. It is here that they can prepare their studies for the following day. Drivers Training helps the student un- derstand the traffic laws of the state, and the rules and regulations of safe driving. This understanding makes it easier for them to secure their driver's licenses. Actual behind-the-wheel experience lends practice to the student. Mr. Spilsbury with driver trainer. 20
