It takes many people to run smoothly a school the size of Orono. At seven thirty in the morning, one of the most important jobs was executed by the bus drivers. No matter what the weather, the students arrived at school safely. Though we probably didn't realize it, our halls were spotless and ready for another day of muddy feet ond the unavoidable scuffing. We owe this task to the very capable janitors who keep the school environment refreshing and who provide us with a bit of wit. After the morning session, we were ready for the good meals our cooks had prepared for the oncoming pack of hungry eyes ond growling stomachs. No matter how much work had been done as each day drew to a close, there was always much more to do. There was no glory in their work, but it was quiet, efficient, and indispensable. 28

Failures as well as successes were experienced by our neophyte homemakers as they were guided by Mrs. Clemetson and Mrs. Hess. Who still works with their hands nowadays? The boys engaged in units that vary from wood Finishing to plastics and even electronics in Mr. Groehler's and Mr. Sorenen's industrial arts classes do. In the course of studying wood and metal technology and orchitectual drawing they learn to not only create beautiful artifacts but also to appreciate those made by other hands. The busy clattering of typewriters accompanied by the rolling sound of the mimeograph machine typified the atmosphere of the business rooms. Calculating business problems, taking rapid dictation, and keeping occurate books were only a few tasks mastered in the business courses. Punctuality and efficiency were the favorable traits instilled in every student as they completed the course. Photographed when not hard at work are the Business Club member ! FRONT ROW: Mr .

Explaining tho fundamentals of storting a car. Mr. Ulondcr shows Jeff where to put the key. Additional Instruction Presented in Special Classes A vctcron of fifty yoors teaching, Mrs. Johnson has guided many students to become well-adjusted citizens. Through his patient instruction, behind the wheel and in the classroom, Mr. Ulander, our drivers' education instructor has attempted to impress upon his students the keys to safe driving. By presenting the facts, and explaining the need for better drivers, he had shown that a safe driver needs to be cautious and wary of danger behind the wheel. In the classroom phase safety, first aid, and operational rules are stressed. He is improving the drivers of tomorrow and reducing the number of needless accidents. Exceptional children are children who deviate from the hypothetical average of physical, mental, emotional, and sociol characteristics to such an extent that they require special educational services in order to develop to their maximum capacity. Those special services include a radical modification of the curriculum, individual methods of instruction, equipment and an adjusted school schedule. The main goal is that the child's needs be identified and satisfactorily met. Exceptional children, like others must become well-adjusted members of the family and community, must participate in the activities of the work-a-day world, and must assume responsibilities in keeping with their capacities as citizens in a democracy.
