Often these familiar sights and aromas are taken for granted, as well as the people who effect them. The school aides endeavor to make life more pleasant by offering their services to the students and the faculty. The success of school dances, class field trips, special dinners, and other extra activities would not be possible without the assistance of these people.

Alert Minds and Healthy Bodies “What’s so bad about working on Saturdays?” Taking instruction in the Physical Education Depart- ment is somewhat like running an obstacle course. First come the warming-up exercises, where anything from jumping jacks to laps around the gym may be observed. Next, the participants are faced with the real barriers. Field hockey, basketball, parallel bars, and baseball must be mastered, as well as mental health, first aid, and driver education. As progress is made, skills and talents are tested, and a healthy atmosphere of competition develops to spur each student on. Endurance and stamina are re- quired to reach the finish first, but victory comes to all who make a spirited effort. “Oh, to be young again!” MR.
