7 L 'fl ' 9 PUPIL TRANSPORTATION We are proud of the fact that Stephens City High School is a consolidated school and, by far, the largest school in the county. Pupils are brought here to complete their high school education from the following smaller county schools: Armel, Carpers Valley, Clearbrook, Greenwood, Hayiield. Kernstown. Miller, Mt. Airy, Round Hill and White Hall. In addition to the high school pupils coming from these schools, pupils are being transported to Stephens City, who originally attended other neighboring schools which are now closed. Of a total of 518 pupils enrolled in our school, 353 for 68.2WJ are being transported to and from school daily. To carry out this program of transportation, two modern buses serve the school and make a total of six trips, twice daily. This means that the buses carry an average load of 59 pupils per trip. One of the buses is county-owned and is operated by Mr. L. E. Cornell. The other is owned by Mr. M. K. Sandy and operated by his son, John. The first busload reaches school at 7:50 A. M. each morning and the last one in the afternoon leaves at 4: 10 P. M. Some pupils have a long day at school, but they are giving their support to a cooperative effort whereby they, and many others. can attend a four-year accredited high school and hence complete an up-to-date high school program. Mr. H. L. Orndoff, Caretaker of Buildings. Mickey has served faithfully, since the fall of 1931, and to him we MR, ORNDOFF owe many thanks for taking the bite out of cold mornings. AYLOR

.Q DAN METZ NANCY PERRY STUDENT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION The Student Cooperative Association is designed, primarily, to stimulate character growth of pupils and to promote the general welfare of the school and community. Young people are related to their community and should actively partici- pate in some civic activity. They should learn as much as they can about federal, state and local government: should be interested in current affairs: and should be obliged to help whenever possible, even though in some quiet Way. Every young person today should be trained to be truly thankful that he is a citizen of this great United States, and that it is part of his duty and respon- sibility to preserve and promote its greatness. The S. C. A. has a constitution, and the work is carried on by officers and standing committees assisted by faculty members. Once a year, the schools of Clarke, Frederick, Page, Rappahannock, Rock- ingham, Shenandoah and Warren Counties hold a general meeting. The elementary and secondary departments convene separately. This meeting is always held in the spring as a culminating activity to summarize and promote student work. Stephens City High School is proud to have two officers of the S. C. A.- one local and one district. A Nancy Perry, freshman, holds the office of reporter for the Frederick County group. At the 1942 spring meeting, Dan Metz, senior, will act as chairman. i -VIRGINIA STICKLEY
