Library looms large in research materials Visits to our high school library proved very worth- while for many students during the past year. Many useful and varied activities were offered to us. We could choose a book from the seven thousand different volumes avail- able, or we could read the latest issue of our favorite magazine. Many students also made use of the record player, microfilms and backdated magazines. Mrs. Grace Hoare, our competent librarian, assures us that this was another successful year in our library. That congenial meeting place where books and minds are linked. Sitting: Schreier. Standing: Warren, Brogan, Ryan, Patelunas, Fleming. The big wheels of safe driving.

Many training tech- niques are involved, including classroom instruction, simulator training and experience in driving sessions in the cars. lf one is successful in the course, he may acquire a blue card, entitling him to senior driving privileges and an insurance reduction certificate. The program is restricted to iuniors and seniors. All who have taken the class in the past have stressed its importance and need in today's society. 24
