At the beginning of the school year each student receives a combination lock costing fifty cents. In June, he is rebated twenty-five cents on his purchase. This year for the first time book- covers were issued with each text- book. Gerald Shurlow is pictured with several of the various styles of available covers. In addition to being super- intendent, Mr. Wicke serves as a school counselor and he also interprets aptitude tests to all interested students. Here he is aiding Walter Wilson, a transfer student. The new addition, completed in the fall of 1957, houses nine classrooms, three rest rooms, a large storage closet, and the office of the Superintendent.

Monitor, Teresa Norton, signs all of the student's passes in her section of the corridor. Mark Morrill, Bill Myers, and Stan Meloy quickly re- cover after two tedious hours of football practice. Mr. Wicke experiments with the new intercommunication sys- tem which is used daily for an- nouncements and for contacting students and faculty members. Tom Myers distributes the absentee slips which show twice a day the stu- dents who are sick or other- wise. New fluorescent lights, de- signed to improve study habits and to discourage napping, have also been installed. Cafeteria personnel are aided by student helpers. Ken Boltz and the boys carry the books from the former library to the new shelves which have been built in the study hall.
