CLASSES Office work is only one of the many daily duties in Supt. Madsen’s busy sched- ule . The necessity traffic safety is one of the problems discussed by our student panel. Working with the faculty to increase co-operation and understanding among the students, are the stu- dent council and the various class officers.
