‘Jhhu qJioufL might bsL calhwL JthiL JboAAil {maasl!' No, Old Timer, when I say this group helps the principal maintain school policies and reg- ulations, I don't mean they function as the posse of a sheriff. Wal, then, what do yuh mean? As each home room is represented here, their adviser, Prin. I. G. Ragsdale, can have his instructions relayed to the whole student body through them. Especially in matters which need considerable explaining and interpreting, the students prove a benefit. Through their own reac- tions to the principal's requests, they lead the school in carrying them out. In a herd of sheep, alius one thet wears a bell. He toilers the sheepherder an' th' rest of them tag right along after him. He's called the bellwether. That's it, Pop. That's more like it. You see what I mean now. Room representatives may be compared to the bellwether. Also, as an organization, this group functions like a regular school club. Early in the year they sponsored a magic show, selling tickets and circulating hand bills. Three members, Claire Sorrells, Clinton Fuchs and Lois Weeks, attended a city safety council as representatives of our school. Question of alcoholism among high school students was brought to the attention of this or- ganization. As representatives of the whole student body they studied this problem, striving to solve it in a way which would appeal to open-minded teen agers. What a jim-dandy idea. Adviser.. J. G.

Brown don't come at the end of the alphabet. Don't blow a fuse, Old Timer. Mrs. Lynn Brown isn't a teacher. She's the office secretary. Why didn't yuh say so in the fust place. I ain't no genius. Person ain't supposed tuh know everythin'. If you didn't talk so much maybe I could say some- thing. In the first place Mrs. Brown supervises the OD girls, takes care of all business, keeps the school's records and performs many other duties well and cheerfully. Also, she's always ready to answer any question that you might have. Yuh don't say. Page Sixteen

‘ClaAASLdu, $ML? (Do JLJD1L M jCUL diffl A 'hL fotklk!?' Wal, boy, what 'bout these hyar classes? Tell me what they stand fer an' what they're supposed tuh git done; jist all 'bout it. Come on, Son, speak up. Pop, the words sophomore, junior and senior merely signify how far along a fella or gal is in high school but as for what they're suppose to get done, that's quite a story. For all these classes alike, it is more or less the beginning of their life adjustment. Many of our high schools used to stress what we call education for white-collar jobs but not any more. Old Timer, in your day it was pretty much thought that the only kind of people to re- ceive education were those who wanted to become doctors, lawyers, economists and those in other professional fields. Our theory is education for all. Do you know, Old Timer, that about 60 per cent of the people who enter high school will eventually earn their living in ways other than by professions? That's why we believe that average workers such as clerks, receptionists, salesmen and those earning a living by jobs along such lines should be given every opportunity there is to make them the finest of educated peoples. Folks have realized in this past century that youth today need to be taught that the way a man makes his living no longer determines the quality of his life. Teachers believe that by guiding us in these ways they are helping us to become better citizens, assisting us to arrive at a healthy philosophy of life, give us a start as workers and help us obtain social approval. They feel that high school gives one rehearsal time for performing an adult role with confidence. Educators now are figuring out different ways to help these people. Come on, Pop, let's continue on through this book and see how our school has tried to accomplish this. 'See, Pop? This is our swell school.' Page Eighteen
