Budget Wizards MES lIigh's monetary system is handled by this group of student treasurers. Every member is responsible to Miss Mary Mc- Nally, general treasurer, and Elsie Brown, 11er assistant. Duplicate cash books are kept by both tl1e general treasurer and by the students and are checked once a month so the few errors made were readily corrected. All money is kept in a general check- ing account. To make out a check, the treasurer must write outa requisition, sign it himself, have the sponsor sign it and get Prin- cipal Herbert Adams' signature. This accomplished, Miss McNally makes outgthe check for the amount specified. Every activity operates on a budget, which it is supposed to follow as closely as possible. Activities which have no visible means of support are aided by or- ganizations showing a profit for the previous year. Much credit is due to Miss Mc- Nally and the student treasurers for the success of their excellent financial system. l Toi- Row: H.

Bourne In Case of Fire NDER the able sponsorship of Miss Ruth Miller the tire squad earried out its duties very sueeessfully the past year. 'Keeping the halls elear of ob- struetions sueh as waste paper, odd books, and stray students, eonduet-- ing tire drills and guarding the doors of our fair sehool before legal hours kept Fire Chief Jerry Gal- vin and his eohorts on their toes at all times. Refusal to obey these upholders of law brought many pink and blue invitations from lQI'I112l,S outpost. Sehool aetivity tiekets were given to tire squad members as a reward for their serviees. Among the year's aeeomplish- ments was the addition to the re- Simfeen eord books of a forty-nine seeond tire drill in which live seconds were slashed from the old time. 'l he tire squad deserves eom- mendation for its tine work in ear- rying out its thankless tasks. Boys are ehosen for their de- pendability and their willingness to eooperate with the faeulty and students. The squad was so eon- seientious about their duty that they gave themselves seventh per- iods for being absent or late to duty. They are nominated by the faeulty illlll voted on by students. Members are on duty every other week and ou early duty every few weeks. 'l'hey hold a meeting week- ly to diseuss improvements to keep things running smoothly.
