Surrounded by a growing supply of literature, diligent students spend extra hours in the library. This honey- colored room offers an occasional break from the daily routine of restricted academic study. Up-to-date science equipment is only part of the picture. Witlm the aid of modern laboratories, students may divide their time evenly between laboratory and textbook work. The science lecture room, built in the style of an amphitheater, seats two hundred people and is available for demonstrations and films. Our expansive Driver Education program is supplemented by the use of many forms of tests, used especially for reaction and vision as well as road signs. An environment conducive to training safe and informed drivers is shown to each pupil to insure safe driving habits and courteousy among all teenagers. Provides Picture of Modernl Equipped Rooms One innovation which teachers use to the consternation of many students is the roll-up type blackboard on which the teacher writes pop quizzesfl Then when the students are seated and quiet, down comes the blackboard! Students interested in office work learn to operate the dup- licating machines. Advanced typists use elcctric typewriters to train them for jobs in the business world.

Teachers and parents meet for the first time at the Arlington open house. Parents are amazed and fascinated with its new and modern equipment which teachers proudly demonstrate. Oops! Looks like bad news! Many parents took time out to discuss their child's progress in the academic ranks. Parents, Public, Pupils Participate In First pen House As School Displays Facilities Putting its best foot forward, Arlington hosted its first open house on November sixth. Appropriately called Family Night, this event enabled parents and relatives not only to take a grand touru of the building but also to meet all teachers and staff members. Many students were apprehensive because their parents and teachers would be able to talk things over. However, most fears and misgivings soon disappeared as they realized that the parents and teachers have much in common. Most of the concern which unites them centers on one common denomi- nator-us. Two nights later the doors were again openedg however, this time the general public was welcomed. Anyone who didn'r have a relative enrolled was invited to see the building and meet the entire staff. Teachers and students from other schools looked with envy upon the newness and opportunities that gleamed throughout the school. Visitors are impressed with the beauty of design evident throughout the auditorium, which is said to be one of the best engineered in the state.
