74e Stony o£ IMBLE R SCHOOL As told by the Staff of MEMBER yjor 74e ?952 tZoldea DOORS.....A picture of a door can mean a lot of things. Some give a wel- come; some stay closed; some, as these of Imbler School, will always open to the students-past and present. Think of the thousands of students who have passed through these doors. They have arrived expectant and left--after hours or years of enjoyment— — —through these same doors. The school board and the administration have made these doors an entrance to knowledge and pleasure-- a place to help prepare those who enter to better meet life. All who pass through these doors, after twelve years of study, are always welcome to come back and re-live ‘the good old days’. The wood in these doors may change meaning to those who come and go never change. They are open to a Only in a free nation can this happen. Don’t let go of our freedom. Work for it so that these doors may always be open to ALL. s4 td ttoecf cUfrfrect Cota t e frctune John McKinnis Henry Fries, chairman Leonard Billings, clerk Ben Robinson And saw the need for the expansion of the school plant to meet the demands of a growing community.

Fundamentals, such as, dive and roll, hand stand flip‘«nd back stand flip, were learned. Muscular co-ordination, the keynote of successful tumbling, was well demonstrated before the PTA and other assemblies in April. G. A. A. resident...... ice President. Secretary.......

THE WAY OF LEARNING Our library now contains about 1500 books besides reference works and many pamphlets. New books are added each year as funds permit. The non-fiction books are classified according to the Dewey Decimal System, but the books of fiction are arranged alphabetically by authors. In order to keep students up to date on current events, there are sixteen magazines and two daily newspapers. Student librarians the past year were Beverly Collins, Lil Sabey, and Mary Westenskow. The filing class, with 10 members met in the Library on Feb. 10 for it’s first meeting. The fundamentals of filing are being studied each week. FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR Following are the Champs.

Room representatives were: Leland Fries, first; Mariln Teeter, second; Leonard Lively, third; Joe Westenskow, fourth; Jimmie Perkins and Sheila Statler, fifth and sixth; James Austin, seventh; and Darrell Bewley, eighth. Regular monthly meetings were held with each room presenting one program during the year. In November an amateur show was given with great success. Team work The Grade School basketball season started with 14 men turning out. The first two games were played with plenty of power and the boys looked good. Then came the loss of George Royes and Kim Jordan, which set the team back considerably for the remainder of the season. However, in the last two games of the season the team showed that the small boys could play together almost as well as at first.
