Few of us realize what an important and diiiicult part the bus drivers play in the routine of our school life. The drivers' work is far from easy. It means long hard hours of work plowing through snow and mud. Besides the physical labor they must undergo, they have the responsibility of the safe-keeping of hun- dreds of children's lives. Due to the skill and carefulness of these trusty men, the Covert Consolidated School bus system has won the approval of many. Never, in the eight years' existence of our school, has there been any serious accident injuring anyone. YVe appreciate the loyalty, kindness, and gratifying service which our drivers have given. Even in the severest of weather, there were but a few days when the busses did not attempt to make the routes. May we at this ti1ne express our appreciation to the drivers as a whole, and to Mr. Galbreath, the superintendent of busses, for their commendable services. 10

MR. QUAILEY Br-r-r-r. Turn onthe heat! How simple it is to say these few words, when we feel a trifle shivery! Subconsciously, however, we do not stop to think of the time and work it takes to supply this necessity to keep us comfortably warm in the winter time or equally cool in the summer.. Nor do we have to worry about the water supply, the arrangement of chairs, the cleaning of the corridors, rooms and walks, or who keeps the clocks running, the Domestic Science stoves filled and many other duties too numerous to mention. Much praise, therefore, is due to Mr. Quailey for the never ending supply of' these necessities and we all unite in our regard and appreciation toward him. OUR GRADE TEACHERS To this group must be extended a great deal of credit for the care, edu- cating and handling of the younger students. The grade teachers must be con- stantly on the job, set examples, correct, discipline and teach the youngsters courtesy, kindness, manners and many things of this nature, besides reading, writing, and other curricular work. They must be alert to the physical and mental handicaps of the various stu- dents, must carefully prepare the day's program to include, besides the regular routine of work, recreation and rest, and to keep constantly in mind the needs of the smaller groups, which are many and very different in nature. In the hands of these people, we place our children for the greater part of the day. and through their efforts and care are' entrusted the educating and guid- ance of your children. Covert is to be commended on the selection of the teachers in this depart- ment and has seen many new introductions of work along the lines of social and child psychology, through their constant efforts. Come to school, parents, one and all, NVe welcome you to make a call, And see how your children act and do, ln this school supported by you. Meet the teachers you've heard about. Perhaps in your mind there is a doubt Of just exactly what they teach and do, This they'll gladly explain to you. So come and visit, this we ask, And see the teachers at their task, For they are human like all the rest, And are thinking only of doing their best. 11
