In addition to their other duties, they regulate the bells, a very necessary routine in our family life. These competent workers are, from left to right: Elaine Banning, Frances Dahncke, Mrs. A.

Leyden'3 role in the community must assume an increasing importance. Increasingly , it must become the center around which many activities revolve. More and more it must become the focal point of common interests. As a truly community school, Leyden must co-operate with all social, civic, and business agencies in the community, all working toward the common goal of developing each student as a whole. Physical facilities at present do not permit such co-operation,and Leyden must grow physically as her obligations increase. Leyden must extend her services to those adults who feel the desire to carry their training beyond formal schooling. As Leyden's responsibilities increase,let us hope we can retain the close pupil-teacher relationship which has existed throughout Leyden's history. il Wade A. Steel Assistant Principal
