S dthing new at Chelsea High this year is a program called Distributive Education. This is a cooperative learning program in which the students study until noon, and spend the after¬ noon at part-time jobs. Under the able leadership of Mr. Chris Belisis, these boys and girls study English, Social Studies, and business subjects such as salesmanship, merchandising, Retailing, Advertising, and Commercial arithmetic. After school hours each student reports to an assigned training station where he works under a store supervisor and the periodic ob¬ servation of Mr. Belisis. This program is a wonderful opportunity for students to obtain the skills needed in the business world while they are still in school.

? r Mrs. Marie Kennedy, our school librarian, has proudly informed us that recently we have received a $10,000 federal education¬ al grant for the High School Library. This will help us to an estimated four thousand new volumes, including every field of interest from encyclopedias to hobby books. In addition, an up- to-date professional section and the latest self-help reading facilities will be available to the students. However, the Library at Chelsea High means more to each student than just a place to get books. Many of our clubs meet th ere, and it is always a wonderful place to browse in.
