BUILDING and BUS PATROLS This is the sixth consecutive year of the force of bus and building patrols. The building patrols are to see that no lights are burning that are not being used, see that there is no unnecessary noise in the halls and corridors, answer the telephone, ring the class bells, see that no one is loitering during school hours, and keep the dressing room clean, There is a boy and girl patrolman each period. The bus patrols help safeguard children from their home to school. They are the first off the bus to remind us to be careful when getting into or off the bus. They also help the driver watch for trains or other things that might be hazardous to our safety. ---- Laverna Arbeiter HOT LUNCH PROGRAM Through the co-operation of the school board, students, and Mr. Lienert we are fortunate to have in our school a very nice hot lunch program. Every student in high school and grade school can have a hot lunch for ten cents. The government pays nine cents of the cost of each meal and the student pays a dime. We have around one hundred and ninety to two hundred eating here every day, Mrs, Foncree, our cook, is doing a splendid job of preparing hot meals. She has two girls and a boy to help her each period she is working. The meals are planned by the Home EC. III's. By the first of March we hope to have a new lunch room. We have been using the Home EC. room. ---- Ramona Foncree LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club was organized this year in order to assist Miss Slechticky, the club's sponsor. Each girl on the staff is required to spend one period a day in the libraryiroom. They serve as a guide to the other students, as well as file cards and shelve books. The girls on the staff also see that the magazines are kept in order after each period through the day. Meetings are called when the sponsor thinks the girls need added advice. These girls not only earn merits for their work, but they receive training that may be useful to them in the future. Each librarian feels it is very interesting work. Monday, September 24, the Library Club gave a party. Each girl invited a guest. A Weiner roast was planned to be held at the Tower on Fountain Bluff, but due to the downpour it had to be tr ansferred to Riverside Park, After the Weiner roast, due to bad weather, most of the party went to the show, Every boy and girl spent an enjoyable evening. At the close of the schoolyear the sponsor will select one of the librarians for her outstanding work. It will be an honor for this student to be awarded with a pin, that she will cherish and will be a remembrance of her high school days as a librarian. The club this year chose three girls that are capable of handling the various activities. The officers are: Laura Jarrett, Presidentg Doris jean Moureau, Vice- Presidentg jarra Lee Reed, Secretary and Treasurer. ----- Margaret Korando
