Students use drawings, specimens, workbooks, and even make dissections along with their regular textbook work. Mr. Born cleared a lot of everyday questions pertaining to gravity, light, sound, electricity, and numerous other aspects of physics by demonstrations and explanations in his classes. The first semester he kept the students busy as a bookworm in a best seller writing reports and doing experiments, but he eased up later when field trips to places like Martin ' s Mortuary, City Water Works, and the Oxygen Plant diversified routine class work, com mented Nitsi. Under the instruction of Ed Whalley, students learned chem- ical formulas and the fundamental laws of chemistry. This knowledge was put to use when they mixed their own solu- tions on the two lab days a week. Wit addeil.

Student Counselors Clyde Granere, assistant principal and boys ' adviser, effi- ciently managed the numerous facets of student association finances and other administrative problems. Many times he could be found spending extra time helping to plan and carry out student activities, confided Nitsi to Wit. The girls ' adviser, Mrs. G. Maria Cameron, stepped into her new posi- tion with ease and assurance. Her friendly, understanding attitude made her a favorite with students and faculty alike, admiringly confided Nitsi. The job of office secretary isn ' t easy, mused Nitsi, but charming Mrs. Harriet Keigley handled it with finesse. Along with her regular office and secretarial duties, she supervised the office girls and acted as school registrar. Voice of the People As they crawled out from the folds of a memo that Supt. I. K. Boltz had picked up at high school, Nitsi and Wit found themselves surrounded by an important looking group dis- cussing the business affairs of School District 51. Know- ingly, Wit satisfied Nitsi ' s womanly curiosity by revealing that the men were the members of the Board of Education. As they heard mention of plans for a new high school, the eager bookworms perked up and learned that the long range building program is only one of the numerous aspects of business connected with the reorganized district. Hiring staff personnel, handling school finances, determining poli- cies, and considering all the varied facets of education are the concern of these elected representatives of the people who work in close coojieration with school administrators.
