We have suffered. Since we lost you
Life has never been the same,
In our hearts your memory fingers
Sweetly tender, fond and true.

last week, urging the cooperation OF
the State Roads Department in carry
ing out the recommendations of the
State Police for the safety Of the
school bus traffic at the new high
school in Princess Anne this year.
Engineer Morrison said his depart
ment would cooperate fully in the
safety program and would Immediate
ly place speed zone and school zone
signs on the highway at both ap-
proaches to the school.
Committee members explained to
Mr.. Morrison the real traffic hazard
that would develop at the school this
term, beginning in September, since,
besides the regular eleven buses Wis
iting the school there would be buses
during the school day sessions leaving
and arriving at the building as some
of the classes would be held at the
old w. H. S. gymnasium building
This was due to the fact that the
Judge Page home, the late residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Burnside Value
which is to be used for temporary
class-rooms as the new high school is
under construction, could not accomo
date all the classes and part of tht
pupils will be transported back ant
forth from the old gymnasium.
Mr.. Morrison suggested that tn
committee have special police of
ficer stationed at the school ground
to regulate traffic during schoo
hours, in view of the dangerous ant
heavy congestion on Route 13 passing
the new building during the dayligh
hours.
