An- other feature is Career Day when men and women explain opportunities for young people. The dental staff, under the capable supervision of Miss Kavanaugh, performs its duties skillfully and efficiently. Many of us will be eternally grate- ful for the dental care and yearly check of all the students' teeth. Many a major toothache has been prevented by this, and many minor ones stopped by the medical care given. The service of oral education is available to the JR. HIGH FACULTY The img- ty o t e junior High School acts as a guide, and through its guidance the students become more alert. The teachers encourage students to do better work, to be honest citizens, and teach them to act as they should in and out of school. The lower grades. students who have been graduated appreciate the help they have received and the students coming into the junior High School will appre- ciate the help the faculty will be able to give them. If the students have any problems they may go to one of the faculty members who is always willing to help iron out their troubles.

Group tests, followed by individual tests in cases where hearing loss is noted, are the basis for recommendations to teachers and parents.

As an architect molds a building, so books and guidance to the proper usage of the books, molds the knowledge which a student receives, into something tangible. Thusthe library, with its magazines and books of various types, helps to impart knowledge which is useful not only for the present but what is more important for the future. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Hoare, it does its job to the utmost of its ability. The magazines and reference books are almost exclusively used by the history classes, the library instruction held in the Eng- lish classes.
