Assigning parking spaces to senior driv- ers was a responsibility of the Wheel and Safety Club. Under the direction of Mr. Luke Doezal, club members periodically checked the parking lot to assure that all students were parking in their designated spaces. Another of the club's concerns was the promotion of motor safety on school property and all roads. Demonstrating the fine art of changing a tire, Parliamentarian Pele Waskiewicz shows Mr. Dolezal and Wheel and Safety club officers, Treasurer Mike Dean, Secretary Linda Marx, Vice President Janis Rada and President Vicki France, how to react in an emergency. During all lunch shifts, classes and changes of class, the monitors patrolled the halls and stairways. To facilitate the flow of students, the monitors also controlled traffic on the up and down stairways. The school force was given additional power in 1961-65 through a new system of rank. Lieutenants were named to positions of top responsibility, and it was their function to maintain the forces, assuring complete coverage of all school areas. Mr. Harry Schmidt, sponsor of the monitors, served as the coordinator ol all upolice work. .llonilor Lieutenants Jerry Mahon and fohn .llergler stop Il student in the hall to check his pass, All students who have aspira- tions and ambitions to attend col- lege may join the Guidance Club, where they may associate and con- sult with others. who plan to fur- , ther their education.

Running errands, keeping supplies in order, di- recting students, administering bandages, checking equipment, and washing test tubes are all duties of the student aides. Assisting both the faculty and student body in many phases of school life, services of the aides help Overlea function more efficiently. There are five groups which specialize in specific areas. Office aides help the everyday work of typing, filing, and running errands in the main office. Guidance aides type and schedule appointments for the guidance department. The work of the library aides is the shelving and checking-out of books. Audio-visual aides assist with the projection equip- ment while scientific equipment is kept in order by the students who serve as lab aides. Facilitating school activities, the aides may find their jobs both indispensable to the school and re- warding to themselves.
