Job Opportunities Under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Vaughn there were a few changes made in the library. A person must have his I.D. card on himself before he can check out a book. This eliminated students signing out books in other's names and not returning them. Along with Miss Vaughn there were two other librarians. Mrs. Mary Ellen Hanson and Mrs. Loretta Shrapnell. who assist in the work. Mrs. Shrapnell comes in at the beginning of the school day and leaves at twelve while Mrs. Hanson assists Mrs. Vaughn from twelve until school lets out. This is Miss Vaughn’s first year at C.H.S. During this year she had the task of selecting, ordering, and placing approximately five-hundred new books. The Wolves Den is a school store set up for the students. It is run by students who are enrolled in co-op courses. The store is open before school and during lunch hours. The Wolves Den was established years ago to give the students first-hand experience in business trades. Under the supervision of Mr. Dennis Horrigan, the store provides such products as Bic pens, pencils, folders and compasses. To be eligible to work in the Wolves Den students must take a certain amount of business courses such as business math, record keeping, and retailing, which prepare them to better understand the needs of the business world. Co-op was organized in 1966 to help students get a first hand experience in coping with problems in the everyday business world. This is Mr. Horrigan's first year as co-op advisor. During this year he helped students find jobs if they did not already have one and offered to help with the future of students.
