Hll7lmt about inflation? PHUDUCTIUN ! PRUUUUTIUN! PRUUUETIUN! ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Mildred K. Kamrnerer-Chairman, Emanuel Donow, Florence K. Coldwasser, Marion M. Robinson, Mildred Winer. A provision for an Economics honor class last term resulted in the group shown here. Chosen from among those who had proved themselves proficient in history in former terms, these students, both seventh and eighth termers, were given the privilege of enter- ing a class where they could discuss, at length, topics for which there would have been little time in the regular course. Unfor- tunately, program complications barred from the class several pupils worthy of admission. Subjects of current interest such as the possibility of inflation and its control, price ceilings, new taxes, et cetera, were feverishly debated on several occasions. Also, various books were read and reported upon by some of the especially in- :erested students, llhe guiding mentor of the group was Miss Kammerer, Chairman of Qhe Economics Department. Have you signezl up for the achievement tests? The morning after the night before. Mr. Avent makes the rounds.

Music DEPARTMENT George Dare, Yvette Attz'n.son-Cliairman. The rehearsals of the Orchestra will long be remembered by stu- dents assigned to Sth period study in Feldman Hall. Since the former had all the advantage, the students usually played audience. Everything went smoothly when the Orchestra played in tune and gave forth the Well-known Victor Herbert melodies. However, the moment a sour note was struck or an instrument came in at the Wrong time, down Went Miss Attinson's baton on the stand. From then on the Orchestra had to rehearse the same part until the keen ear of their director Was satisfied and the student audience could only hopefully await the end of the period. Yet, as a result of this daily practice, the Orchestra has been able to present a fine variety of interesting pieces at the Friday assem- blies and on such special occasions as Graduation, and Parents, Night. Boogie Woogie in the making.
