Open house, which was held in Novem- ber, gave teachers a chance to become acquainted with parents and discuss their student problems with the parents. Two new courses offered this year were drivers' training, under the in- struction of Don Smith, and a part- time cooperative training program under the supervision of T. A. Thomas. Besides teaching and sponsoring extra-curricular activities, teachers al- so belong to numerous organizations. The North Platte Education Association is the major one. David Marymee is the president of the association for l952- l953. Miss Reta King, Miss Harriet Lute, and Hubert Walbrecht are on the planning committee from the Senior High School. Sl-LENT NIGHT!

Faculty Directs Our Future Plans This year l952-l953 was a very active school year for members of the faculty. Numerous social activities such as the Teachers' Bowling League for sports- minded teachers, coffee hours, a Christ- mas caroling party, faculty parties, and picnics were offered to promote closer teacher relationship. The teachers' main objective throughout the year was developing student interest. Various projects and class activities helped arouse student ambition and co-operation. APPLE FOR THE TEACHER. Roy W.
