Harrison Daigh Each editOr will select his staff of reporters from the members of the journalism class. The organization editor has the largest staff composed of the reporters of the homerooms. iW-Qgh w: Ten Minute Homeroom Periods Make Organizations More Useful Ha The new plan of having the home- rooms meet for ten minutes each morning before the hrst period was voted by the faculty to make the homeroom organizations more useful. During this ten minute period routine matters such as making announce- ments, organizing campaigns, distri- buting notices to individuals, and keeping the homeroom groups more active can be taken care of. This leaves the two afternoon homeroom periods free for group activities and discussions and individual counseling and also does away with making an- nouncements during class time. Sev- eral homerooms report an increased interest in homeroom affairs as a re- sult of this plan. h.-.a.. ... Las Amigas -..d- The feature of the Las Amigas meeting held Friday, January 25, was a play given by the J unior High Play- ers entitled HThe Rostof Pearls.

Eugene White and Dorothy Amland were the other two Speakers and Thor Hamrin entertained With two piano selectfons. Mr. Baker read the names of the graduates and Mr. Heath, pres- ident of the board of education, hand- ed them their diplomas. Mr. Baker amused and amazed the avfience by bringing an unselected group of seventh graders on the stage and comparng them With the grad- uates, the ufinished product, as he very appropriately called them. Thanks to Mrs. Breitkreutz and all those 9B students who decorated our auditorium so beautifully and an or- chid to Mrs. Lembka and those girls who made the lovely Corsages worn by the girls of the graduating class. The flowers which decorated the stage were heather and yellow and pink blossoms and the corsages were made of exquisite red roses. .J. Eugene White Tells Graduates How To Prepare For Life s Work + Choosing a Vocation Among the great decisions of life there arises the one of deciding upon a vocation. It can be a pleasant task or a dread, as one makes it. We may ask ourselves, What contribution will our career be making to societv ? A person may reach the highest posi- tion and yet be a failure as far as achieving happiness or contributing to his community 'is concerned. Seventy-i-lve per cent of vocational- ly trained people change their line of work more than three times durinrr their lifetime. As they go through life they discover new fields, for ex- ample the study of micro-phvsics. the observation of molecules, atoms and tpnsfzmmr! nv- -s...h 1W

February 19, 1935 , LA TORRE Page 3 Stamp Cellecting , hI.I Most all boys and girls enjoy some kind of hobby, Collecting postage stamps I find 'is the most fascinating of all. If you own a globe, or world Atlas you may travel around the world in your imagination. Some of the first stamps were printed in Eng- land about the year of 1840. Five years later the American bank note company printed the hrst issue for the U.S.A. Before this time however there were various stamps issued by the different Express Companies, such as the Wells-Fargo and Company. These stamps today are very valu- able. It is said that our President Franklin D. Roosevelt is a stamp col- lectOr and has a great collection, and also that King George of Great Bri- tain owns the most complete col- lection of stamps in the world. When I first started collecting I gathered stamps from all over the world, but I soon found out that it would be im. possible to keep up with all the new issues. Now I specialize in American stamps. There are a number different ways to collect stamps. One may choose two or thtee countries only, 0 a continent like America. There are picture stamps, animal stamps, commemorative stamps, precancels, and many others. For the last three or four years there have been issued many new stamps some comemorating great men and some notable early events. The late t issue has been park stamps. These stamps are very at- tractive. A report has rome from Washington that in the near future there will he issued an entire new set picturing all our dead presidents. eAudrey Grettler 8A 0 Sportsmanship And Service Recognized In Las Amigas 4....

It's not as if a person was eating food, so please tell us why we cant chew gum in class. G.A.J. Dear G.A.J.-: There is very little distinction it seems to me between eating food in class and chewing gum in class. Either is rather bad mannered, I should say. I wonder why we humans want to chew gum anyway. It is, after all, a rather strange thing to do. Some an- imals were apparently meant to chew all the time and nature supplied them with the wherewithal. But humans weren't and soewhy chew gum any- way? Aunt Susie Dear Aunt Susie: Why canlt we go to school not quite so early in the morning and get out . a little later in the afternoon? C.B.M. Dear C.B.M.: There is no law compelling us to begin school so early, but it has proven vastly more convenient in every way to do so. I believe if you had to stay in school until four you would probably be asking why we couldn't begin a little earlier. Yours for early hours. Aunt Susie Dear Aunt Susie: Why doesn't the school fix the clock in the auditorium? The pupils see it and donit know it's ten minutes fast and get restless. It is very impolite to those on the stage when they start to act that wayr J.K.M. Dear J KM I am sure I can't answer this ques- tion. It certainly is unfortunate that the clock is fast because it will mis- lead the audience and cause it to be- come restless and anxious to go. I think this is an excellent thing to ask your Student Council Repre- sentative to take up in Student Coun- cil. That is the best way to get most of our school ills cured. Aunt Susie participated in all games and will re- ceive their honors are as follows: Lions; Sato, Aron, Droll'inger, Kill- ingsworth, J. Knight. Indians: Sato, Fisk, Burkett, Schwartz, E. Young, Lytle, and Jorden. Eagles; B. How- ard. Bears; Lorock and Ozone.
