Working for a Better School The members of the staff at Columbia High School have expertly fulfilled their tasks, Our health nurse has been our assurance of excellent care incase ofaccidents, She has greatly assisted the student body in receiving needed optical and dental care. Our bus drivers maintain a very important position on the staff of CHS. About ninety per cent of the stu- dents depend on them for a means of transportation to and from school. We are indeed grateful for their good, courteous, reliable driving techniques. When lunch time has arrived, the students have quickly formed a long line leading into the cafeteria where we knew we would be served delicious, nourishing meals by our lunchroom staff.
