3 udent dJr reasurers Try the machine, Andy Dulcic astitis Mist McNally with Ihe books Ames High's monetary system is handled by this group of student treasurers. Every member is responsible to Miss Mary McNally, general treasurer, and Dulcic Severson, her assistant. Duplicate cash books are kept by both tlie general treasurer and the students and are checked once a month so the few errors made are readily corrected. All money is kept in a general cheeking account. To make, out a check the treasurer must write out a requisition, sign it himself, have his sponsor sign it and get Mr. Adam’s signature. This accomplished. Miss McNally makes out a check for the amount specified. Every activity operates on a budget which it is supposed to follow as closely as pos- sible. Activities which have no visible means of support are aided by organizations showing a profit from the previous year. Much credit is due to Miss McNally and the student treasurers for the success of their excellent financial system. This type of training is valuable in develop- ing business-like characteristics in the student treasurers. It is required of them to In exact and prompt for the books must be checked by the state auditor. It is essential that the treas- urers be trustworthy, accurate and dependable because of the great responsibility placed in their hands.

Barnes Max Sowers, fire chief, pushed the students of Ames High around this year with the aid of Miss Miller, sponsor, and the rest of the “gestapo.’’ The duties of the fifteen seniors, twelve juniors and fourteen sophomores are subject to many whimsical remarks, but they are really essen- tial. The junior and sophomore members are on duty in the halls from 8 :.i0 to 8:45, 12:10 to 12:45 and 12:45 to 1:00. The seniors filled in in the absence of the underclassmen: other- wise. they loafed. Regular meetings are held every Thursday noon at 12:25 to discuss the problems that are met during the week. Assignments for the fol- lowing week are also issued. Other officers are Ned Yifquain. assistant fire chief, and Dave Bechtel, secretary-treasurer. Sixteen ★ Fire Squod on duty
