There they were cour- teously received by Mr. Hertzog, who, acting as guide conducted the mem- bers on a tour of inspection around the buildings. The club members were shown the process of repairing old books that had been roughly treated and were in poor condition. The book covers are removed and the books are in- spected. The sides and threads from old binding are cut off and glue is added to the edge. The new and Spec- ially designed cover is used to re- place the former old one. Gold leaf and other different types of paint are used to print the name of the book and the author on the new cover. After this remarkable re juvenation the once old and dilapid- ated book becomes clean and shining. June 13, 1935 9A Class Here Only 472 Years; 11.1 When a pupil is graduated from junior high it is taken for granted and seems only natural to think that he he attended school here for 3 years. But on the contrary, only 116 of the grads have spent 3 years here and 48 have been here for 1 year. Twenty two people have studied at junior high for 2 years, 7 people have been here for 1Q year, 6 people have been here for 11p; years, 5 have been here 21,2; years and 2 have been here for 31.4; years. Yet When a school has a student. body made up of people who come f1 om all over the country and travel- ers who drop in to stay awhile, there is a feeling of friendship that can't be equalled anywhere else. ... hw.e..1....

Oh, well such is the day grades condes out. Mrs. Sturtevant's dramatic club went to the Pasadena Community Playhouse Friday, May 10. They saw the dramatic comedy, ttThe Wedding, with Anita Blair. It was a very enjoy- able evening and every one had a good time. The graduation class is the largest our school has ever had and believe your old Peekhoie we sure are going to miss them. We'll miss Dick De.- Goliais leadership and Alice Connor's dancing for assemblies, but maybe we have some 9Bis who can fill their shoes, we hope! The class picture for '35 turned out very well for such a large class, Bill Satterlee certainly made himself cons spieuous by putting his head down but otherwise you could tell who everyone was. The peOple in the cen- ter section were scared stiff. They would look as though they were ery- ing because the patio fountain was going and the camera was in back of it. It proved to turn out 'all right though. Everyone certainly missed Pat Ved- der while she was ill. Scarlet feyer is pretty bad for anoyne to have and it was generally known Pat had it pretty badly. We certainly hope she recover- ed without any ill after effects. One of the highlights of the asseme bly May 22 was when Jimmy Smith tcandidate for presidenti 10st com- plete control of his voice. So it hap- pens the poor boy's voice is changing and when he started to make his acceptance speech the voice cracked and the assembly fairly roared. The acceptance speeches were all very good but everyone noticed the absence of Frank Wright, the can- didate for vice president. Frank was ill and the group that nominated him, along with everyone else, missed him. The t'Show BoatH was quite a pro- duction, starving Alva Adams, Boothe Bohannon, Morris Porter, Frances Cr: and several others besides the whole glee club. It was a beautiful produc- tion and everyone enjoyed it.
