IKE CAI! , CllllSS - CUUNTIIY as to get in touch with the largest number ol students bound lfor school. All olf the vehicles with one destination in mind: the new school! Piling out of cars into the mammoth parking lot, slowly squeezing out of the overloaded,buses at the west side of the building, parking bikes at the extreme opposite end, or parading up one ol the walks on the campus is the campus picture between 8: 10 and 8:20 each morning.

No parking troubles for about 123 Hillites who drive ears daily. cc Olaf do you get there? To Hillites who were a bit vague as to the where-abouts of the school, the location seemed miles and miles from nowhere, but after experimenting with the shortest routes and after examining a school map, they dis- covered, much to their surprise and delight, that the school was centrally located and was much closer to the majority of students than they had dreamed. From north, south, east, and west Hillites came pouring into one ol the eight entrances of the school, and no matter how Johnny and Mary got to school, they welcomed its sight looming up in the distance . . . especially on cold, windy, or rainy days. From Carrollton, Bridgeport, Frankenmuth, Kochville, James, Saginaw, Spaulding, Thomas, Tittabawasee, and Zilwaukee Townships came 8 Nice springy days call for a little basking in the sun- light before classes begin. All out for Arthur Hill . . . just another method of getting there: the bus! our rural students some ol which drove in private cars and others bumped along their merry way on buses that had been provided by the schools represented. Unvacated Helds proved the source of hun- dreds of blocks cut oil lor some 861 students who would otherwise have to walk around. Out of the path and into the main street one meets cars streaming by carrying students who either drove their own, cars, or were taken by family or lfriends. Bicycles might not be so comfortable and fast as automobiles but they at least meant a mode of transportation and proved extremely popular by the appearance of the numerous bikes piled on top of each other at the east end of the school. Seven special city buses and the regular Bond Street to the corner of Mackinaw and Malzahn whizzed courses so mapped out

But soon they realized tl1at this was no dream . . . but something stable and that something was the new Arthur l-lill I-ligh School designed espe- cially for safety, comfort, and progress. Four hundred and sixty feet in length, the struc- ture resenibles a huge I-I of two floors with the exception of the center unit which has three. Stepping into one ol? the eight entrances, one hrst sees a long six-hundred-foot corridor that hasn't a protruding edge. All lockers, drinking fountains, lights, Ere ex- tinguishers and hose cabinets, exhibit cases, waste receptacles, bells, and gates are recessed in the wall. Along each side of the corridors on the lirst floor are twenty-six classrooms, divided into four depart- ments: science, English, industrial and home arts, and social science. Each classroom is equipped with six lighting fixtures controlled through an electric eye which automatically turns on or off the lights when
