Say, do you know of anything more aggravating than a break in a moving-picture film just before the final clinch? Neither do our movie operators. The hero looks deep into the heroine's eyes-the film begins to jump-it staggers on for a few yards more and then dies in total darkness. But we sit patiently and wait for it to start again, don't We? Yes, we do! We object frankly and earnestly. We speak C?J unkindly and in an uncomplimentary way of our movie operators-how are we to know that such breaks are due to careless handling of the film before it came to our movie operators or to the great age of the film? We think that we can't exist during the lunch hour unless we see the movie. Reel One!--Lights, Please Their Works Give Us Pleasure We get all excited and angry if anything goes wrong in the operating room and we don't get to see the next reel. But the boys mend the film and the show goes on. We settle back comfortably once more to read captions aloud. Sometimes the film breaks two or three times during a picture and we think we are abused. Think of the poor movie opera- tors. The boys get lots of valu- able experience from their work. Running a movie isn't the eas- iest job in the world. They have to roll the films, unroll them again, operate the machines- Lakewood High has two kinds of machines, one for slides and the other for moving pictures. Remember when Mr. Raine talked on Alaska in assembly? Well, then the boys used the machine for slides. Sometimes teachers wish to show films for their classes-Spanish, Chemis- try. History, or Latin classes. they usually are-then our movie operators help the teacher run the picture machine land per- haps earn an extra A J. In con- nection with our Lakewood High history department we have American History films shown about twice a month. Our movie operators show these movies for the 12-B's Cmaybe they hate to get up in the morning, tooj. Then, of course, at noon these boys show the movie-they are a hard working bunch. The movie operators are organized as a club. If you want hard work but valuable experience, be a movie operator!

Need Any After- Dinner Speakers? Do you believe in old sayings? Well, if you do all's well, if you donlt, you had better for once in your life. As the old proverb goes, A word to the Wise is sufficient, so never, if you're a Wise man, get roped into an argument with a member of the Speakers' Club. We'll let you into a secret, although its name is not debate, it really is the debate club of the school. This is its first year of organization, and already it has done great things, so much can be expected of it in the future. l'd cross the sea on a rotten rail to come to Lakewood. said that famous newspaper man and after-dinner speaker, Dusty Miller, after his last visit to our school. He was brought by this club. Future Statesmen and Orators Page 98 DUSTY MILLER

Science of All Kinds Holds Their Interest CaO+H,O:CaCOHJ2-well, we could go on and have an equation with several steps, but for most of us one step is complicated enough. It is because of equations like this that people join the Newton Soci- ety. Who knows? Maybe some day a present member of the Newton Society will present to the world a theory, like the one Einstein recently brought to light. fBut let's hope if he does that he puts it in language we can understand, because it would be terrible to have to look ignorant about something one of our former school-mates wrote, particularly if he had been your best friend.J Not Frightened By Bugs and Smells Page 100
