Something New Is Behind The Scenes Something new has happened to libraries. Just look at ours! Ask Mr. Louis, he will tell you about the new study atmosphere. With carpeting, scuiptures, and paintings, it gave students a welcome feeling. A re- creational reading area with lighted dome, separate study carrels, and typing rooms were features that added to the excellence ofthe library facilities. Behind the scenes were the people involved in the special services. Films, transparencies, tape recorders, and projectors were the essentials of Mr. Shragg's Audio Visual department, and the increased use of closed Circuit television enriched classroom activities. Applying bandaids, taking temperatures, and generally helping the sick was the job of the dedicated school nurse, Mrs. Anderson Mrs. Garbe was in charge ofthe new remedial reading program, which someday will offer to all students an opportunity to develop their reading skills.

Senior High Secretaries: Mrs. Marietta Martin. Mrs. Dalyce Leabo, Mrs. Shirley Small, Mrst Clarine Sutherland, Mrs. Marvel Rasmussen. Student life centers around our bustling office. Turning screws and adjusting doorknobs are some of the many and varied tasks of Robert Baldwin, our head custodian. Chewing Gum,Carbons, Weiners and Wheels Always there, but not always given the recognition due, are the services. If you happened to see a large orange metal monster, with special seats and racks on the top, you wculd have seen the new Bluebird bus. With 15 new buses, making the total force 36, ninety per cent of Osseo's students were transported to and from school each day. New and better buses made rid- ing to school more enjoyable. Each day an average of 1400 gapping mouths had to be filled by the cooks. Bending over the hot ovens, washing dirty dishes and soothing growling stomachs made the job of the 14 cooks a never-ending task. Washing windows, waxing f100rs, and cleaning up af- ter dances were some of the duties of Osseo's 10 cus- todians. These responsibilities are in all custodians' lives, but the Osseo custodians had the additional job of vacuuming the new library carpet! Swamped by papers and harassed by phone calls, the Senior High secretaries had a busy year. As the go between for students and the principals, the secretar- ies were required to take on more responsibilities than ever before. 21
