The bookstore line forms each morning before school and during homeroom as students take advantage of this time to buy supplies from Mrs. Erma McClarren, manager. Numerous Tasks Twice a year students developed “writer’s cramp” as they filled out six schedule cards, listing their entire school routine. So went the daily r outine at W ' arren. Most stu- dents arrived by 8 o’clock, either by bus or by car. Since W arren is located outside the city limits, there are no public sidewalks. This tends to limit much of the foc3t traffic that other schools may have. Bus and automobile traffic was regulated by Mr. Her- man Xolte, driver education teacher, while every student driver was responsible to the student-im- posed safety and parking regulations. Our three-year-old .school was still a showplace to many, and it attracted visitors from all over the world. Wdien cjfficers from allied countries were at Fort Harrison for training, they visited schocjls and private homes in Wkirren Township to .see how Americans live and learn. These visitors viewed the Valentine Tea decoratic ns in the foyer, clothing- projects in the home economics department, chem- istry experiments in development, and other classes in acticjn. This grcjup was one among many groups of visitors for whom Warrenites took the opportun- ity to show off their building along with their warm Hoosier hospitality.

Weekly Schedule Includes Variety of Activities and At the beginning of the day Warrenites pause for a few minutes to listen quietly to the devotions and announcements. Devotions are presented daily by the Hi-C Club over the public address system, followed by the morning announcements given by the Student Council president. A few times during the year we were allowed to listen to something special. If teachers permitted it was the World Series. Through the miracle of electronics we may have watched or heard an astro- naut being lifted into orbit from Cape Canaveral. During the homeroom period our teachers oc- casionally allowed us to go to the bookstore for supplies. Mondays and Tuesdays were devoted to regularly scheduled club meetings. Homeroom rep- resentatives attended council meetings on Wednes- day. Thursdays were used either for guidance or for a convocation. Fridays were reserved for Pep Block, committee meetings, and studying for weekly tests. The Cuban crisis was a sudden reminder to Warrenites that they had a part in the realities of life around them. Pat Andorn, senior, starts many a routine day at Warren by listening to the morning devotions. A rare moment alone in front of the rest room mirror allows time for repairing the hairdo. Later, as a Warren Owl reporter, she gets a story from Vice-Principal Obert Piety, while Skip Hendricks waits to get information for a committee report.
