By turning our Northwest Passage into new offices, classrooms, and auditorium in anticipation of next year's record enrollment, and by installing a fine new track around our football field, Livonia's Board of Education once more proves its intention to keep Bentley the best of all possible school environments. Additionally, of course, there are the usual well- equipped and supplied classrooms, library, science, industrial arts, homemaking, fine arts, commercial labs, kitchen and cafeteria, custodial and supply rooms, a gym large enough to accommodate holiday and spring tournaments, marvelous pool, outdoor tennis courts, paved parking area.

' ' -doabfeffl-,adm ' Buying books for a new school year is the first academic step students take. Secretary Mrs. Jean Heaviland presided over book sales as students eagerly lined up in the halls last fall. Hardly enough Q's for Quality can be found to de- scribe the superior academic program and high aca- demic standards which are trademarks of Bentley High School. Each year her graduates go on to college or other schools, enter service, or accept employment. What- ever the choice, their records are excellent proof of their fine high school training. Fifteen departments offer 83 different classes to guar- antee suitable programs for students of every interest and ability. ln science, math, and English, advanced placement work is an old, old story. The addition of Dr. Paul E. Johnson as system curriculm coordinator this year re-emphasized the determination of Livonia to continue its academic pace-setting among United States secondary schools. Mr. Connors and Mr. Zoet together were in charge of a voluntary discussion group which met during fourth hour every day. These students were directed toward effective procedure in argumenta- tion-logical organization and presentation of ideas. Ural '
