BAND Under the direction ol Mr. Harold Haines our band got off to a fiying start this year. Jumping at every chance to show off their new uniforms, the thirty- eight members proved full of enthusiasm, not only in their action, but also in their music. They marched at football games and led St. Nick into town in the Christmas parade. Their Spring Concert in May proved to be one of the best on record.

Thirty-seven students have participated under the direction of Mr. Lemmel, state supervisor, and Mr. Crawford, faculty sponsor. The objectives are: to build into the consciousness of youth a feeling of personal responsibility for safety on the highway, to give youth the opportunity to learn the technique of correct driving, to develop the spirit of -good sportsmanship and respect for the other fellow. Our'aspiring drivers have class instructions and road work in a state-owned car with a dual control system. I THE CANTEEN The Dover Canteen is a second home for many Dover youths. It provides good, wholesome recreation for all who go there such as dancing, ping-pong, and checkers. The rules and regulations of the Canteen are formulated by the Canteen Council which consists of some fifteen members. The officers of this Council are: Dave Hitch- cock, president, and Suzanne Parrott, secretary. This Council is the backbone of the Canteen for it arranges for all activities.
