possible. Mr. Terry at work. fi Asking for advice. One of the attributes of our high school is a smooth functioning well-equipped LIBRARY. Its importance is increased by the lack of any other in Mount Carmel. The library, established at its present site in 15148 has grown in number of volumes from four thousand to almost five thou- sand. Any student wishing to do research on some subject, will be able to acquire further knowledge from the many reference books and the five different sets of encyclopedias. Those who have no assignments can read from the eighty different periodicals or one of the latest fiction books. The library has been furnished with the College Blue Book and a great number of college bulletins, which list information for pupils planning to further their education. Available also are books on various occupations and careers which may help the undecided student to make up his mind. Our library has helped us, who have used it, to gain intelligence through reading. 12 One of the many privileges our school extends to the student body is a DRIVERS TRAINING COURSE. This course is available to all students who upon reaching the age of 16 express a desire to get a license.

In this re- spect, as the record shows, Mount Carmel ranks high as many of its stu- dents have not only gone on to college, but have also attained recognition on the type of faculty which encouraged these youths during their most impor- tant training period: that is during their high school years. A closer look at this group of teachers indicates that it is an un- usual faculty - dedicated to its pro- fession. This is indicated by the fact that over half of them have gone beyond required training for teachers, and have earned Master's degrees in different subjects. Our faculty has received its training from many dif- ferent institutions. Background of such variety gives our high school a valuable cosmopolitan scholarship. The students of this class wish to acknowledge and thank this faculty that has had the patience and ability to guide and teach us during our years in Mount Carmel High School. We know that our appreciation will deepen as we later come to realize the actual worth of our education. 'H

Because of the tendency to- wards truancy in many school districts, a home and school visitor is needed. When pupils are reported absent, her duty is to call at their homes and consult the parents concerning the reason for their absence. Proper measures are then taken if a pupil is truant. X ik: .
