THESE PEOPLE HELP Under the able leadership of Miss Marion Trowbridge and Margaret Oberg, Washburn's art department is one of the city's best. Courses in sketch, paintings, design and fashion are offered. Last January a new one began when Miss Oberg took three classes of craft, de- signed to interest students in carving, painting, and modeling. As examples of the teachers' help and student talent we cite the many Wash- burn winners in the Regional Scholastic Art Exhibition last March. The first, second, or third awards in several fields were taken by Connie Nosby, Jade Hong, Jeanne Raihle, Delores Aalbu, Elizabeth Fisher, Dave Anthony, Tom Olson, Mar- gery Bates and Marilyn Jacobson. Miss McCune, Washburn's able dieti- cian, orders food, plans menus, and sees that the ladies in the kitchen prepare our meals in a tasty fashion. VVe congratu- late her for doing so well. Mr. Hill, Head Engineer, plans work schedules for the janitors. Mr. Hill's cheerful, eficient manner continues the work so ably di- rected by Mr. Burt before his death- keeping Washburn in excellent condition. The duty of the school nurse is to in- terview students that have been absent. They must have her permission before they can attend their classes. During the day, if a student becomes ill, she will excuse him to go home. Mrs. Helanger has given many inter- esting talks to classes on mental health, child care, and home nursing. The health of the school is in her hands. Everyone is looking: forward to the day when the north wall of the library will be knocked out and the memorial room, next door, will furnish some much needed space. We now have the smallest school library in Minneapolis, in proportion to the size of the school. Miss Brown, our school librarian, says, 'Alt is very inade- quatelu Miss Brown and her assistant, Miss Olson, with the help of the library board, are kept running trying' to locate the books needed.

STUDENT COUNCIL COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL YEAR Washburn's student council began its work this term with great enthusiasm. For some time previous the council had been inactive but under able leadership with guidance of Mr. Fleenor, the council started out full steam ahead. When members, who iilled scholarship and personality requirements were selected, plans were made for repre- sentatives to attend various all-city councils and meetings of interest to the school. Dances were given and auditoriums and worthwhile drives for foreign and domestic relief were sponsored. Most important of the year's activities was the joint homecoming with Vocational High. For the first time in Washburn's history, both a homecoming Queen and King were chosen, entertainment was provided during half time at the game, and, of course, the annual dance was held in the gym. The slogan for homecoming was Wash! Burn! Beat! Volts! Congratulations are in order for the line Work done this year by the council. Row One: Engel, Berg, Porter, Young, Monaghan, Mr. Porter.

If you do, just blame it on to the 12th Grade Records Committee. They are the students chosen to type the report cards and the ofiice credit cards. The Committee is un- der the supervision of Mr. Porter. The Committee meets in Room 105 three times a semester. It is usually the Monday before report cards come out. They mark the report cards, and also re- cord the marks on to the ofiice credit cards. Besides marks, they record attend- ance and tardiness. It is their duty to make out the Honor Roll. 7
