This year, school board, adminis- tration, and faculty worked together to solve the many problems of constructing a new high school. It was an opportunity for all to make bene- ficial curriculum and equipment changes. Each worked towards an up-to-date, improved high school while keeping thrift in mind. The respon- sibility of carrying out the wishes of towns- people and faculty was a large one. Planning and working together towards a common goal developed unity between faculty, administra- tion, and school board. if inf 5 .V F , . . if ff' T if t N ' i l t ' M. Dr. Alton W. Cowan, Ed.

I really don't know very much about anything. Or, at least, that's why Mom says I have to go to school. Kindergarten doesn't seem to teach me very much. I've gone for almost a week now and our class must be behind. We haven't learned any- thing about reading or writing or even printing. Of course, playing house and singing new songs is fun! One thing I'll have to give Mrs. Buck- ley credit for-she did teach ustop lights. Before we had stop lights I wasn't really sure whether you went on the green or red light. Now I know! Mom is very happy about my progress. She told Dad, one night when I was sup- posed to be asleep, that I am sociable now. My new friend Linda doesn't think I'm sociable but she likes me anyway.

Advisors are important to any high school. Mr. Horn and Mrs. Allswede help students with personal and scholastic problems. Any student who has a problem is welcomed at either office. There a counselor will talk to him, help him understand what is causing his problem and what he can do to solve it. Falling marks may well be raised in the process. Counselors do a service not only to their school system, but to every student who walks into their office. Mrs. Eva Smith, Mrs. Marion Hargrave, and Mrs. Doris Squires take a break from their secretarial duties to discuss common problems. Counselors' ffices pen To ll -aff ...cw flrs. Judy Allswede, B,A.
