Let there be Special Service Teachers PROBLEMS? in the three years we spend here at Vocational, it would be very odd if we didn't at least once cross the threshold of either Miss Christenson's or Miss Dietrich son's office. When we have been absent because of illness, it might seem that the badge of their office is the tongue depressor or the thermometer, hut checking our health, an im|K rtant but routine job, is not the only one Miss C. and Miss D. “do” . . . Sometimes we bump into rather knotty problems—financial, personal, or social— which might plague us at an especially vulnerable time in our lives—while we are attending school. It is then that we are lucky to find real help and understanding in these offices which are especially designed for the welfare of »he student.

. . . was the Word. Time wo when we could use familiar landmark about the city a guide? to find our way about. During the past few year , however, many of those familiar landmarks have disappeared and a new set have come on the horizon. Thu it become necessary that we u e a new set of guide to direct u on our way. Likewise, until a decade or o ago, in the process of education und training for future work, fairly definite guide line were quite evident. Hut now with the many new and modern inventions the new methods ami processes of production and new personnel practices, these guides have Iveen all hut era ed. This necessitate searching for new signs and guide to show u the way. To be sure; other new and fantastic inventions will appear which will make familiar guide post even more difficult to recognize. Hut we can l e ju l a sure that there will lie a place and a job for everyone who lia made the effort to properly prepare himself to meet the requirements of successful everyday living. Even though the specific guide line for successful living may lie more obscure and thu more difficult In define, yet the more familiar basic guides will still prevail. Such basics a character, courage, initiative jnd personal responsibility will always Ik prerequisites of success. Only to the degree that we develop specific skill along with the necessary personal characteristic will we discharge our individual responsibilities u« citizen , responsive to the tradition and ideal that are basic to our way of life. The highly competitive process will require determination and tenacity to overcome obstacles anil finish the course. For the seniors, it i» our wish that they will leave u« with some ideas concerning specific skill and with an appreciation of those traditional American values and essential virtue that have made our a great Country in which to live.

Like the spokes of a wheel, our classrooms find their center in the hub. or library, of the school. Well over 10,000 volumes—not only of books, but of records and film strips—arc constantly being “drawn out by borrowers, and subsequently checked and shelved by the library staff. Textbooks, pleasure reading, technical and professional materials arc in regular demand by both students and teachers. Such activity suggests noise and confusion, but actually the library is usually a much-appreciated “zone of quiet in our lively school community. II Mrs. Martha Lund invites us to take a closer look at her favorite corner in the library.
