Our Education Movies and filmstrips serve as an interesting and different medium of learning. With the new movie projector purchased this school year, students and teachers view clearer, better-sounding pictures. 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

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.

Our Recreation Here we have the newest addition to Bement's athletic facilities, the new scoreboard. It sits at the southeast corner of the field, offering a good view for all the fans. It is a new model scoreboard and it keeps the spectators informed on every phase of the game. This large gymnasium, built in 1955, provides ample space for a myriad of activities. All physical education classes, basketball games, and graduation exercises take place here, as well as noon-hour activities and school parties. On the night of October 18, during half-time of the Atwood game, the Centennial Board presented a new scoreboard to Bement High School. The Centennial Board provided sufficient funds for the purchase of the scoreboard and the Bement School Board provided for its installation. Mr. Clark Plummer, chairman of the Centennial Board, made the presentation to Mr. Clarence Lefever, president of the School Board. Other representatives of these groups were Mr. Keith Bell, Mr. H. E. Slusser--members of the Centennial Board; Mr. J. E. Hargrave, Superintendent; Mr. Donald Temple, Mr. William Gorrell--members of the School Board.
