Page twenty-seven Miss Sue Claussen joined the staff this year as the school’s first nurse. Hearing tests and tuber¬ culosis patch tests, services which had previously been the responsibility of the county public health nurses, were given in her office. It was to her office that any student who became ill during school hours was sent . . . about 465 such persons came to her with one kind of pain or another.

In previous years the bookstore had been open only at the beginning of each semester . . . for the purpose of selling books only.

Many new things had been added, but the biggest and most noticeable was the seven-room wing added to the west hall upstairs. Construction of the wing, which cost about $100,000, began in March, 195$. It was hard to keep your mind on clas s when you could hear — and sometimes see — such fascinat¬ ing things going on just around the corner. The work continued all summer and finally ended just the week before school opened last fall with the installation of 144 shiny new lockers.
