Out The Seams Our halls, crowded with students passing to and from classes, present many traffic problems. Most of them are too narrow, and congestion occurs in various places throughout the building every time the bell rings. Eight biology classes like this one are held each day. Even though there has been an extra teacher added to instruct this course in the past two years, classes keep growing by leaps and bounds. Facilities are inadequate and space is all too limited for proper biology study and lab work.

Growing Up . . . . The Methodist Annex, a scene of con- fusion each day, must be used by Mr. Stewart’s government and economics classes. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, the seniors must attend classes there because of the over-crowded building, then trudge across the street — often late and sometimes cold and wet — to the main building. Our cafeteria serves many purposes. When it is not being used for regular luncheons, it is necessary to use it for certain school activities, parent-teacher meetings, club parties, and even as a study hall.

But Work and Play The Room 111 is filled with busy typing students from zero hour until the end of the school day. While the typewriters are getting a work-out, many girls and boys learn an important and use- ful skill. Besides general manipulation of their machines, they find that it is necessary to be accurate at all times, to follow directions, and to use good judgment. The learning privileges that high school students enjoy daily were extended to adults during the second semester. A wide variety of night classes enabled them to brush up on subjects that had become hazy or to learn more about the ones that seemed interesting. The response that was made to the adult education program was very satisfactory, with over one .hundred enrolled the first year, and it is hoped that in the future the demand and the accommodations will be even greater.
