The nine buses make their daily rounds, each one covering hundreds of miles every week pick- ing up students at their doorsteps and delivering them to school. Many students board their bus as early as 7:15 a. m. at which time many of the city dwellers are still snoozing. The town stu- dents use mainly two means of transportation for getting themselves to school. Those with generous and trusting parents drive the family flivver to schoolg or in the case of some of the more prosperous, their own bomb As is evidenced by the some thirty-odd cars on the parking lot each day, there is either an in- creasing number of prosperous C. H. S. students or a lot of doting parents. Walking still seems to be the most popular for at least, by necessity the most frequently usedj method of transportation. Every day, dozens of anxious students can be seen trudg- ing along toward school, hoping for an offer of a ride from a friend. Bicycles are used occa- sionally by some of the more energetic under- classmen. d1str1ct by varied means of travel The 'Marydale Express' unloads its crew at the North entrance to the gym. The new sidewalks are put to use by most of our walking students No this isn t the Bobbsey Twins lt s Margie and Cheryl trying to make it under the line before the last bell I3

They may not be as fancy as the 'wheels' some of the upperclassmen use, but they get us there. Students arrive every da from all points of the . Nancy depends on horsepower, and womanpower to get her to school each day. In our modern educational system, the trans- porting of students to and from school plays a vital role. Many different types of transporta- tion are used daily in the delivery of these peo- ple. Since approximately 70070 of our students live outside the immediate vicinity of Carlyle, buses are responsible for transporting a good many in- dividuals. Some students commute from as far away from C. H. S. as 15 miles. Others catch the bus at various points in the outskirts of Carlyle, and their ride is little more than one mile.

The school library, in addition to serving as a study hall, provides the students with countless reference materials. Endless hours of reading enjoyment are also avail- able in the form of magazines, newspapers, and books. An interested student can find information on nearly any subject on our library's well-stocked shelves. An attrac- tive room and up-to-date equipment makes for a pleasant library. I4 The students at C. H. S. are very fortu- nate in that they have offered to them a wide variety of interesting courses. Each pupil is required to take four units of Eng- lish and two of Social Studies. Some stu- dents elect to take Spanish or French. Electives include all of the vocation subjects - business, home economics, in- dustrial arts, and agriculture. In these classes, students prepare themselves for that all important day when they will leave school to become useful members of society A broad curriculum is offered to those in- terested in math and science. In these courses, the truth of scientific facts is prov- en, and new discoveries are made. In addition to the many content subjects, the majority of the students take either mu- sic or physical education. Aside from the obvious purpose of building strong bodies, physical education also encourages good sportsmanship. Both vocal and instrumen- tal music appeals to many of the students. This varied curriculum is given to us, the knowledge to be gained, we must earn. We are appreciative of the opportunities that are ours. . . . a complete curriculum - h ,,.,.,. .,,.,, , , .,,,s, . ,A ,,,, .,,. .. --W' , f
