rm '+ On the second floor is the office of the assistant superintendent, Mr. Hensley. Among the many activities performed in this office are the keeping of the attendance records, setting up individual class schedules, filling out report cards, and directing the visual aid and testing program. Our School Provides for After the unusually heavy snowfall of one January night, those who could get to school the next morning found the sidewalk leading to the school blocked by a deep snowdrift. However, by the second morning, the janitors, with the help of the tractor, had removed the drift and cleared the path to education. From the lower office Mr. Hargrave, our Superintendent, assisted by Mrs. Miller, his secretary, supervises the functioning of the Bement Unit schools. All permanent school records are filed in this office. It also serves as a meeting place for the Board of Education.

Here, in the projection room an attentive class views one of the many movies which are shown throughout the year. 4 Although the study hall serves as an assembly hall and a meeting place for students before school and at noon, after the bell has rung, busy students set to work preparing their assignments. Reference books and dictionaries are close at hand in the library to offer aid in lesson preparation. For the energetic student who has finished his work, there are library books and magazines to read. During the four-minute breaks between classes, boys may be seen scurrying to and from the industrial arts and agriculture building. This building contains adequate classroom space and well-equipped shops in which students may gain experience in woodwork and metal work and in repairing farm equipment. I
