In doing so they improve their understanding of artand also contribute much to school activities in the num- erous displays and posters that occasionally decorate ww the corridors. Mechanical Drawing students receive a solid basis for drafting and other shop work which helps job potentialities after gradua- tion.

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.

LANGUAGES sf ef The saying goes The proof of the pud- ding is in the eating, and our language de- partment bears this out. Students learn to appreciate the knowledge of a foreign langu- age by the many correlations from the language to our own. Hur Above, Mrs. Mary Smith, French teacher, and head of the department, chats with Mrs. Janet Ainey and Mr. James McCabe, Latin teachers.
