Classrooms are in use every week night for adult education classes in 25 such varied subjects as auto shop, crafts, vocal music, folk dancing, shorthand, driver training, English, and foreign languages. In the gym city-league basketball games are held, along with regular night school physical education classes. The big high school auditorium is used for nearly all community shows, such as the Harvest Holidays Queen Show, and the Music Memorial and Mother-singers, Concerts. Delano High's well stocked library is used by hundreds of students daily. Efficiently carrying out his job as head librarian, Mr. john Geyer supervises the re-organized li- brary facilities, assisted by Mrs. Marshall Coursen.
