We Qrow in Knowledge We remember . . . that first day feeling . . . the rush of registration . . . the confusion of changing schedules . . . the amused glances of upperclassmen as they watched the wandering, lost freshmen . . . that uncertain, uneasy feeling we all had as we made our adjustment to new courses and new teachers. But, we remember, too, the quick settling down to a familiar, daily routine ... a routine of homerooms, classes, assignments, exams. We remember these busy, study-filled hours ... that part of our life that helped us grow in knowledge and stature. This is an important part of our life, C. H. S. REGISTRATION DAY. September 2, was the beginning. Here Mr. Redman Dunham and Mrs. Nathan Wood help freshmen Woods, Ferrell, Vails. Slaten and Klinkhart register for their first year at C. H.

Special Services Are Offered Students A speech correction service, offered for the first time this year, has been of invaluable aid to many C. H. S. students. The work of Mrs. Lyman Dillard, correctionist, in this, her first year, included interviewing and testing 1,401 students, working once or twice weekly with the 248 students who needed correction, giving numerous tests with the telebino-cular and audiometer. While much of Mrs. Dillard's work was with elementary children, a number of high school students also profited from her work. Because a trouble shared is half cured, Mr. Thomas Mock, guidance counselor, made an important contribution to C. H. S. Personal counseling, help in vocational and educational planning, and testing are all a part of his service to our students. MR. THOMAS MOCK, guidance counselor, advises Georgia Goodale. sophomore. Mr. Mock is also adviser to the newly organized Conservation Club, a co-sponsor of the junior class and instructor in world problems. In addition to his school work, he is active in the Kiwanis and Key Club and is president of the District Guidance Counselors. Mr. Mock's hobbies are hunting, fishing and reading. Each year our students are using the library more and more, said Mrs. Dwight Moodie, librarian. This year a thousand more books were used than ift the previous year, and as a result about 175 new books were added to the library. The thirty different magazines to which the library subscribes are thoroughly read before being placed in the files for reference. Mrs. Moodie. who heads the library staff, is one of the few trained librarians in southeast Missouri. Mrs. George Brown, study hall supervisor, also assists in the library. MRS.
