-he The MIRROR The Culinary Art Room is under the care of Miss Townsend. It is in this room she teaches the young ladies of our school the art of using the can opener to a very marked degree of efficiency. Our Interior Decorating Room is also in charge of Miss Townsend. It's here that the girls are taught to use the needle and thread to the best possible advantage. It has been noted, never- theless, that some of the girls forget this training when there is work to be done at home. The Smith-Hughes department is one of the best equipped in this part of the State. It is here that Mr. Bruner coaches the country boys to coax the crops from mother earth in the most scientific manner. Vocational agricul- ture is the subject, but much is put in practise and the boys have gained ad- ded proHt on the side.

he The MIRROR fs The Chemistry laboratory is one of the most fully equipped in the state. There were several improvements made upon it last year. Here all the experiments in Chemistry are worked out and this year several explo- sions occurred due to aspiring young chem- ists. Coach Swanson gives his services in this field. The junior room is the rendezvous of the juniors. It is also the room where Doyle Swanson endeavors to teach Sophomores and juniors the basic facts of History. Mr. Greer is home room advisor. The assembly is a room that was in- tended for study, but in order to keep in step with the times it is now used for sleep. Some of the more backward stu- dents still study. Here all the faculty take turns ruling with iron hands and wooden rods.

its The furnace room is a modernly equipped heating plant. This being very efficiently operated by Mr. Strayer whose motto is When bigger and hotter fires are built we'll build them. The student-body are much in debt for the comfort and cooperation which Mr. Strayer is always ready to give. Cnr splendidly equipped First Aid room is another result of the never-tir- ing efforts of the High School Mothers Club. Even though it appears to be the most restful room in our building we can say with little regret that it is the one which we like least to frequent. It is in the gymnasium where we get our daily dozen. Mr. Kingsmore is the foreman of all works. He faces quite a quandry in figuring out how so many students get ill and are in dire need of doctors permits, excusing them from gym classes.
