'51 At the crack of dawn and many times before dawn in the winter, six school busses set out to collect rural students, some of whom lived as far as fifteen miles from Allegan. The students were picked up again after school for their bus rides home. Other activities involving busses included band and Field trips and the transporting of students to out-of-town games. This year the bus drivers attended classes in driver safety and the psychology of handling a bus load of students. The classes were held at the High school for all Collrlty bus drivers. The High school cafeteria, with Mrs. Hiscock in charge, was engaged in constant activity, pre- paring daily lunches. Mrs. Hiscock was aided by fourteen helpers, most of whom were home eco- nomics students. Mrs. Hiscock's features included special menus on Parents, Day, Junior Career Day and the days preceeding Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations. I4
