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. The custodians of CHS have kept our school facilities clean and sanitary. We appreciate the hard work they have contributed in order to make our life at school more pleasant, PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE Mrs, Pauline J. Bateman “3 soul BUS Fl BUS DRIVERS Mr. L. A.

SENIORS As our Columbia High School years draw to a close, we find that our emotions are mixed with both regret and joy. During our twelve years of school, we have become one big family. Now this big family will, in a sense, be de- stroyed as we each go our separate ways, but many of the friendships that have grown during these years will never die. However, as we have reached an important mile- stone in our lives, we must move on to greater effort and larger responsibilities. Beyond the doors of our school lie opportunity, suc- cess—and, perhaps, failure. We know that the days ahead will not always be sunny, but our hopes are high because of the confidence we have gained through our years of preparation at CHS.
