Interested students examine articles made in the special craft classes. A Scotter peers into an eye-testing machine. Remember, purl harder! says Miss Keplingefs Red Cross class, Scott Teachers at Work Pan-American and world democracy, a special Red Cross class under the supervision of Miss Keplinger worked at top speed to knit toddlers' packs and sweaters and to sew garments for refugees. The girls combined duty with the joy of really neces- sary work, and at the same time, received high school credit. New and unusual craft classes, planned to bring out the hidden art talents in working with beads, metals, and leather, were taught by Mr. Ryan. The Scott faculty met often to plan improvements for the school. Miss Humphreys and Miss Binghams taking charge of the intra-mural scholarship tests proved again the spirit of co- operation between faculty and students. This year 3100, to be applied toward a college education, went to the senior with the most points accumulated through four years' success in Scott scholarship contests. Mr. Roe headed an interesting new enterprise, a movement to create an official form of t.zp,l1rnz'a!. the opposite of our beloved unsat. The most important faculty undertaking i was the study of EI'41fIlc1ffl'6 Crifw'it1, begun last year and extending into 1942-43. Mr. Demor- est, Mr. Langstaff, Mr. Rettig, Miss Smead, and Miss Humphrey made up the general com- mittee for evaluating Scott. All twelve com- mittees devoted much energy to the evaluation program and succeeded in making certain minor improvements in the school with hope for more in the future. So a felt need for cooperation and unity of feeling among all members of Scott made this school year one of the best ever. XVe think that this year we have strengthened the foundations of friendliness, the local beginning of that hemisphere solidarity which is the theme of this book. ln the work of evaluating the school, Miss At a teachers' meeting, Mr, Baum passes out questionaires for the Honor Society Kirkby heads the committee on Philosophy and Objectives.

Scott Teachers at Play Late one dark November afternoon the Scott faculty met in the attic for a Spook session-a Halloween party. Most of the teachers masqueraded as Roman gladiators, Spanish senoritas, ghosts, and clowns. All forgot their dignity and had a good old-fashioned time. Through mysterious passages lined with grinning pumpkins and over imaginary corpses they crept to bob for apples and have their fortunes told. Highlight of the party was an impromptu skit, The Light- house Keepers Daughter. Mr. Langstaff's operating on Mr. Bliss with carpenter tools laid 'em in the aisles. Miss George as chairman deserved much of the credit for this jolly good time sponsored by the English department. Miss Holt's evacuating Scott presented another occasion On january 24, dressed in their best bib and tucker, the women teachers sped to the Worn- an's Club. Miss Holt received heaps of useful gifts. Miss jessie Caughey, former head of the Scott English department, Miss Sadie M. Gal- vin, principal of Washington School where Miss Holt first taught, and Miss Humphrey, prcsent head of Scotts English department, spoke feelingly of their association with Miss Holt. Defense stamps, prizes of the bingo games, bolstered everyone's patriotic spirit. Mrs. Hoover, Miss Schaff, Miss Griffin, and Miss Hamilton planned this party. In work as well as in play, cooperation has ever prevailed at Scott, Always Scott has cherished a strong feeling of unity between faculty and student body. This urge toward democratic cooperation shows clearly in many phases of school activity. In the interest of those trying to preserve Doc Langstaff finds Mr. Ryan a glam orous Lighthaiuse-keepL'r's Daughter. W'ife Baum fondly embraces Light house-keeper Bliss.
