Special Services Reinforce Foundation The new fluorescent lights in Miss Georgia Moore’s domain absolutely entice all, scholars and the rest of us, to turn over a new leaf and search for building blocks for our education. Over one hundred new books have been added to our library this year to increase its usefulness to students and teachers. Here our own Florence Nightin¬ gale, Mrs. Jean Favour, assists in making one of the “sick” beds in room 7. Mrs. Favour plans and car¬ ries on an extensive health program in the city schools, placing a great deal of emphasis on preventing ill¬ ness before it has started. A new face appeared in our private stationer’s shop this year. Mrs. Helen Coglan now manages the services of this familiar landmark. Not only does she run the supply sales, but she also does a great deal of bookkeeping for each club and school activity. Page Fifteen

Speech and hearing therapist Pat Huntington is a new addition to the MHS faculty. After administering speech and hearing tests, she gives remedial instruction. Miss Hunting- ton spends one day each week in the high school and four in the grades.

p Time out for doughnuts and coke at the autumn’s first social event, the Lettermen’s Club Harvest Dance. Building Shakes as Fall Activities Start All summer it lay dormant, a large unoccupied building on the southern edge of Martinsville. As August scurried on towards September, the building began to lift its face and brace itself for the thundering herd of one thousand students that poured into its refurbished halls on September 6. With cries of “Who’s stand¬ ing at my favorite radiator?” and “What home room did you get stuck in?” the 1951-52 school year was ushered in. During the very first full week or classes, new club prexies began to gather up their wandering flocks of old members, and first meetings soon filled any gaps in offices. Then membership prospects became known but couldn’t be accepted without initia¬ tion, of course; so lipstick and Halloween heads laughed and were laughed at, as the social season was launched. No wonder first-of- school days are so confusing! The sports season shot off to a rousing start with the opening gun of our first football game against Greensburg on the very first Friday night, September 7. But the odds were against us from the very beginning, and our cheers came to naught.
