LIBRARY As new dishes encour- age appetites so new books stimulate the de- sire to learn. The im- portance of an efficient library is not to be under- e stimated on the high school menu. The help of the librarians and in- numerable refe re nce sources when the student has work, the endless se lec tion of late st popular magazines when the student has leisure timeg all contribute to the easy digestion of school work. At left are Miss Ruth Osgood, head librarian, f s is and Mrs. Jane Schwarz, a s si stant, selecting new DRIVING ,-aff I, A, Q books fo r display. The popularity of Driver Train- ing is only surpassed by its import- ance. Since a large percentage of our adult population drives a car, it is most practical for students to learn the common sense of good driving. Safety rules, local and state laws, and tests of perception are offered along with actual driver training. The course is taught by Mr. William Carey who is pictured on page 22. A candid picture taken through a window of the training car shows left to right, Betty Jenkins, Marie Bush, and Magdelene McCuskie about to embark on a thrilling ride.
