There is much rushing and running aboul. Finally everyone is sealed in my home. Bul all are lrying lo lalk al lhe same lime. All are lelling whal lhey are now doing.

Helen Burkholder has surprised everyone by lurning oul lo be a school leacher. She maiored in English, a subiecl which she always haled.

Dorolhy Bernalh, who was known lor a number ol years as lhe lamous no girl, has linally said yes lo lhal cerlain millionaire lrom England. He is a counl and she lells us lhal lhey will reside in England. Carl Beck is slill lhe same quiel person he always was. In his slow carelul way he lells us lhal he is iusl a larmer. Bul he doesn'l lell us lhal he is a lamoui scienlisl and has made many a new discovery. Lorraine Liechly, who never was afraid lo lalk and slill' isn'l, says lhal she really look up nursing as she inlended lo, bul a slronger allraclion lhan nursing kepl her from ever finishing her career as a nurse.

STUDENT CCDUNCIL Oh, you didn'T hear abouT iT? If you'd be geTTing PET ECHOES, you couldn'T have missed iT. Everyone Thinks +ha+ This year's publicaTion oT PET ECI-lOES has been an improvemenT over Those of pasT years. BuT why shouldn'T iT be beTTer Than Those oT previous years? The school has acquired a mimeograph machine: so This year The paper has been mimeographed. As many as Tive Thousand copies can be run Trom one sTencil as compared wiTh The TiTTy run Trom one DiTTo copy. Much less work and Time are required in puTTing ouT The paper in This way Than by The Tormer meThod. A Tew changes have been made and some new TeaTures have been added To The school paper. This year, insTead oT being in The usual Two column sTyle, The paper has had Three columns, excepT Tor The ediTorial page, which has only Two, A personal inTerview column, Lulu's leTTers, and silhoueTTes have added much inTeresT To The paper. The increased number oT carToons has creaTed much inTeresT among The readers. This year PET ECT-lOES has gained a liTTle ouTside recogniTion. The sTaTT was asked To conTribuTe a page To The ldea Book which is being published Through The NaTional AssociaTion oT Mimeographed News- papers. The subscripTion lisT This year has reached The peak oT one hundred eighTy. Arlene NeidhardT and Florence Grieser headed The sTaTT. Much hard work and precious Time have been puT inTo The paper. PET ECHQES This year abouT Two hundred new books have been added To our library. Among These are TicTion. biography, drama, and essay. The school ap- preciaTes These books and hopes more will be added each year. Books Taken Trom The library may be kepT Tor Two weeks. IT They are kepT longer a Tine oT Two cenTs a day is charged. The money collecTed Trom These Tines is used To buy more books andilibrary equipmenT. This year new Tiles and a book press were purchased as were book-mending supplies. As books are always geTTing damaged, The book-repair deparTmenT has been consTanTly busy. All small Tears and oTher minor damages re- ceive aTTenTion, and worn books are rebound. All books have been marked according To The Dewey Decimal SysTem. This work Took con- siplferable Time, buT since iT is Tinished, Tinding and arranging is much sim- pi ied. This deparTmenT, probably more Than any oTher, needs The co-opera- Tion oT The whole school in order To do iTs work eTTicienTly. The books are used by The whole high schoolg ThereTore, all The sTudenTs, insTead oT iusT one commiTTee, are responsible Tor The condiTion oT The books. WhaT is more consoling, more inspiring, more beauTiTul Than good mu- sic? Many schools do noT have The opporTuniTy To learn music ThaT we have, and we greaTly appreciaTe The eTTorTs oT lvlr. Tellaisha, who has worlced very hard To help us. ln The beginning oT The year The high school chorus was divided inTo boys' and girls' glee clubs. There were TwenTy-one members in The boys' glee club and ThirTy members in The girls' glee club. AT EasTer Time The girls gave an excellenT canTaTa, The Risen Lord . wiTh The assisTance oT The brass ensemble. On May I4 The chorus pres senTed The opereTTa, Campus Daze . BoTh oT These perTormances were very well done. A new class in appreciaTion oT music was added To The music courses This year. More pupils should Talce This course, Tor The sTudy of The lives oT greaT composers and Their ouTsTanding worlcs adds much To a real ape- preciaTion oT good music. The band and lhe orcheslra, organized some years ago, slill allracled boys and girls who play or are inleresled in lhe inslrumenls ol lhese or- ganizalions. The band played al school lunclions and al several ol lhe baslcelball games. The orcheslra provided music al plays and al com- mencemenl lime. A special class lor lhose who are beginning lhe sludy ol inslrumenls was held again lhis year. A new musical group, lhe brass ensemble, composed ol six more ex- perienced players, mel lhree limes a weelc aller school lor praclice. The personnel ol lhe ensemble, nol piclured, was as lollows: Virginia I-Iill, cornel, Gladys Rychener, lubag Belly Neidhardl and Wanda Weber, barilone horn: Virgil Sunday and l-loward Nolziger, lrumpel. This group lurnished music on several public occasions. orefiuizfxlious School liTe Today does noT consisT only in sTudying Iessons Trom books and Then going To class To reciTe Them. The modern school oTTers many ouTside inTeresTs which are aImosT equal in imporTance To The Tormal edun caTion. which, in mosT peoples' minds, consTiTuTes school. Even small schools have a raTher varied group oT such acTiviTies To ap- peal To The diTTerenT inTeresTs oT The pupils. AThIeTics, perhaps, oTTer The mosT publicized oT These acTiviTies wiTh baske+baII. baseball, and Track Teams. OT These, baskeTbaII has always been The TavoriTe aT PeT+isviIle. Class baskeTbaII Teams-boTh boys' and girls'-play regularly in noon games during The winTer. A TournamenT ends The series oT games. For Those who would become KaTherine Cornells or Leslie I-Towards, The iunior and senior plays and shorTer dramaTic producTions Tor schoo programs mark The beginning oT Training in ThaT direcTion. and give seITi- conTidence in appearing beTore The public. Each pupil belongs To one oT The Two IiTerary socieTies which aITernaT wiTh programs every Two weeks. Every member is required To appeaeT on The programs aT IeasT once each year. Thus, a Ii++Ie opporTuniTy To perTorm beTore an audience ouTside oT The classroom is given To all. Work on The school paper and on The annual gives The respecTive sTaTTs a TasTe oT iournaIisTic Training. One resuIT oT This experience is unTaiIing- a real appreciaTion oT The amounT of work necessary To place a newspaper or a book inTo The hands oT The public. The library sTaTT, aT leasT, acquires a keen respecT Tor books and Their care aTTer Tinding The same book coming down To The workroom Two or Three Times a year Tor rebinding. OTher books reTurn counTIess Times Tor mending. The home economics club supplemenTs The regular classroom work by giving programs heIpTuI To Those girls inTeresTed in homemaking. They Iearn in an inTeresTing manner more abouT The care and Turnishing oT Th home, abouT proper Toods, and abouT suiTable cloThing. Fashion showi wiTh The girls Themselves modeling garmenTs, show in concreTe Torm how cloThing should look. The various musical organizaTions appear in public on occasions. Th insTrumenTal groups play aT games, plays. and oTher programs. The glez clubs give canTaTas and opereTTas. Occasional inTormaI class parTies, picnics, and The one Tormal aTTair oT The year -The iunior-senior banqueT - give The boys and girls a chance To meT in a social way. Any child's Training is one-sided and incompleTe when school means only The classroom To him. To make good ciTizens. The school needs To provide Tor iTs boys and girls a weII-rounded program of classes and ouT- side acTiviTies.
