Harlem C onsolidated High School Departments To read the articles in the education magazines for the last four years helps to interpret the handwriting on the wall. Each issue is concerned with the changing curriculum. What Can the Schools Do summarizes the many headlines. At Harlem there goes on a heap of livin' because of the close teacher-pupil supervision. From eight to any hour before twelve midnight the school home of the students is busy with curricular and extra-curricular activities. If the student is diligent, the program can help him prepare for complete living in any kind of world. The Carlylean slogan is in order, The greatest good to the greatest number. nineteen hundred and forty-four

Harlem Consolidated High School To register the informal chatter of students living in the 1943-1944 period of history, we use our visit through the halls and classrooms as a topic. A METEOR EDITOR INTERPRETS THE DAILY HUM OF HARLEM'S MACHINERY— First of all. let's pop into the office and visit our genial master, Mr. Hovey. What, not in? Well, behind that tremendous pile of letters and documents we can almost find our pretty little secretary, Nellie Olson! We never spy our mistress but what she's smiling her usual Colgate smile. Nellie, don't give up the ship! Navy orders! We'll see Mr. Hovey later. What do you say we buzz downstairs and sort of peek into the various rooms to see what's cookin'? HHHmmmmm! Smells like food! You guessed itl Here's Miss Lola Barkley dressed up fit to cook—cooking what did you say? Don't tell me it's lemon pie! Our future Misses Housewives seem to enjoy mixing, measuring, and making with the mince meat. And who wouldn't love to stir the batter in our cozy little kitchen trimmed with colorful posters, and furnished with General Electrics? Miss Barkley is doing a super job of giving these future little homemakers the once-over in everything from soup to nuts! She also guides the group in snapping, snipping, and shirring—in other words, the art of sewmg. Hats off to our gallant grinders and the best to Miss Barkley! Let's wander across the hall and see what's up in the gym. Well, looks as if the ferns are getting the workout under the direction of Mrs. Doyle. She informs me that the Bloomer Girls” are challenging the Wolverines in a tough game of volleyball. She's certainly doing a marvelous job of building our paint and powder beauties into healthy future women of America. Here's to you and to a grand group of gorgeous girls! While we're so near lets slip back and see how the demons of the jig saws are prospering. We mean, of course. Mr. Young's manual training class. These little shavers are getting broken in—just learning a few of the tricks of trade that trick the trader into trading. Well, Mr. Young, keep 'em chipping off the block! Night and Day—you are the one' — Sounds as if those sweet sopranos are off on another song swoon. Mr. Alrutz has these crooners well on the way to Broadway. No kidding! They're all right and so is their maestro! We have him to thank for our grand Thanksgiving program, operetta, and all the other sweet note performances. The fellows also put in their do-re-me's, the mixed chorus hums along, and our orchestra beats out to the wand of our music master. Ever want to hear a song—just get within two miles of room 8 every afternoon and you're bound to be out of this world 1 nineteen hundred and o r t y - o u r
