Why don't you future .students make his stay a pleasant one by using common sense? JAMES JABUSCH University of Illinois. The printing of your prize plwlfllge H719 Bulletinj is the heavy responsibility which rests on the grey head of this man. What does he say is necessary? Cooperation. And what adds pleasure? Courtesy. MARTIN I. KAVANAUGH Stout Institute, Texas A. and M. Where he works there are many tools? therefore, the people who work around him and with him must be able Io take rare of them, to win his approval. Be honest, boys, for the sake of that ap- proval.

How improved the school would be if those students who adopt ML Smythe- Smythe airs, silly sophistications, etc., would exchange them for naturalness, Mr. LaFauce's pet characteristic. A. B.

Hfre is a fine compliment for the male I: element of the class of 1940. Mr. San- ders is enthusiastic about his lmrll working freshmen. ALLEN SMITH Stout Institute. From the quality of work done by Mr. Sv-ith's boys, we judge the characteristic which impresses him most is accuracy- The old type of manual arts has been broadened. Just teaching a boy how to make things with his hands is not adequate any longer. Now he gains a general knowledge of a number of vocational fields and deter- mines his reactions to certain types of work. Though some S. H. S.ers might make Jesse Owens' pace look like that of a snail in escap- ing the clangings, hammerings, buzzings, and clinkings that these rooms emit, these noises are as sweet to the ears of industrially mind- ed boys as a Hal Kemp tune. But all the courses aren't as rackety as the general metal shop, printing shop, and wood shop are, for there are courses with more of a theoretical approach, such as mechanical drawing, elec- tricity, and auto mechanics. A new instructor, Mr. Cedric Henley, has increased the teaching staff by one. Balanc- ing this addition is the introduction of a new course, acetylene welding, under' the direc- tion of Mr. Frank Owens. The industrial arts course develops a sense of value, clear thinking, and gives skill in the use of machinery. Twenty-one

Commercial Department To the tune of typewriters' clickety clicks and pens' busy whirs future stenographers are made. While learning shorthand and typing, their 'minds drift to days to come when they will be powers behind the thrones of business men or politicians, or What-have- you. It will be their genius and skill as secre- taries which will save their employers from ruin. They will be so capable that their em- ployers, when honored greatly, will say, '6We owe it all to our little secretariesli' Or they will so unobtrusively run the oiiice affairs that no one will quite realise how much they do-until they are gone. Then their fellow workers will run around in con- fusion, all singing the same theme song: HWhere's Miss Jones? Even if these not-impossible predictions 99 don't happen, office workers who graduate from the S. H. S. Commercial Department are sure of being efficient enough to be the very backbone of business-and who would ask for anything more?

Music Department Mr. Sauer leading the orchestra uThere's something in the air, tum te tumwg our building just hums with animation. Per- haps it's the modern swing music from the chorus rooms that inspires the furnace to umake it hotw for us. In soothing such a rampage what could be more effective than the dulcet tones of the A Cappella Choir? In a knowledge-seeking mood it could drop in on a class of music history and apprecia- tion in a deep discussion of Bach and Beetho- ven. Marching to the syncopation of the band, faren't they proud and comfortable in their new quarters?J it would return to its place. Not forgetting our illustrious orches- tra stranded in Central, have you ever known a time when its members were not prepar- ing, giving, or reaping congratulations from a concert? But seriously speaking new life has been injected into this department. All these changes in courses and materials have been made with these goals in mind: To create a love of good music in all students, to give a foundation for intelligent listening for all types of music, to develop a cultural back- ground, and to discover and develop individ- ual talent. Yes siree, it's this department that keeps perennial spring with us! Twenty -two FRANCES CHATBURN Director of Vocal Music.

DeKalb Normal Schoolg Uni- versity of Chicago, Ph.B., M.A. Mr. Patrick's rhoice, the ability to enjoy work as well as play, invites a pun, but we like him too well and besides. we want more rousing band assemblies. Please, Mr. Patrick. ELIZABETH S. RULE Millikin Universityg Illinois Wesleyan, B.M.g Northwestern University. Interest on the part of a student appeals to Miss Rule. But how could anyone help from falling into a rapt attitude in her engrossing vlasses? CLARENCE SAUER Director ,of Instrumental Musicg Orchestra Director.
