Checking-out books, tedious filing, and proper arrangement ot books are iust a few duties of the assistants to Miss June Beamer, librarian. learning these duties are Hazel Conard, Charlotte Perrine, Miss Beamer, Judy Murphy, Brenda Young, Delane Hamric. Seated: Cora Lea Shaver. Library assistants are almost indispensible to the high school library. Many students are helped by these boys and girls who give their study halls to check books in and out. They also keep the files in order, and give information as to where books and materials may be found. These assistants are chosen for their friendliness, courtesy, politeness, patience, honesty, and the attitude they take toward other classmates. We Became Driversg Library Assistants Our students are becoming better drivers by taking the course taught by Mrs. Virginia Hickman. The safe driver must be ready at all times for the unex- pected, lust as a good ball player is always alert. Alertness, skill, timing, and the right habits, are taught to these students. The practical training received in a driver education class helps not only the student but their parents also, because the insur- ance rates are reduced for a boy that has had formal training in under the wheel driving. Under the wheel driving isn't being taught this year because the school could not get a car, but taking the classroom course will help a student later when he takes his driving test. These students look over the situation in Driver's Ed. so they may obtain their license in the near future: Lanta Graham, Bonnie t-tamon, Judy Murphy, Delane Hamric, Filamenio Dimeglio, Billy Bartley, and Herbert Groves.
