Though our build- ing was completed, many details remained to be taken care ot. Public opinion demanded adjustments in the curriculum and the activity program. Superintendent Howard Rogge, serving his sixteenth year in Bryan, was painstakingly thorough in his at- tention to our needs. He continued to be active in community proiects and in both State Department and Ohio Education Association work. For relaxation he enioyed his hobby, photography, and occasional trips to games at his alma mater, O.S.U. when he also visited Becky and Bill, now both enrolled there.

After the incon- veniences of moving last February, September found our quarters fully equipped with pencil sharpeners, drinking fountains, erasers, and all the other essentials.

Semester and final examinations appeared on our schedule, and ability grouping set up a learn-at-your-own-rate program. JOAN BENEDICT ABOVE: NEW FALL, NEW FRESHMEN, NEW FACULTY.
