The acts tor the I955 Homecoming show were chosen by this method, and most Washburnites agree it was the best that we've ever had. Mr. Pulver, who heads this group, took on many new duties when Mr. Krause lett this year. The auditorium committee was one ot them.

Almost every Friday one can tind the ticket sellers busily working in their booth across trom the lunch- room. They sell tickets to all Washburn's athletic events. The ticket sellers this year are: Marilyn Carlson, Sylvia Zwak, and Richard Thompson. The work program is otlered tor those seniors who wish to work part time and receive on-the-job training. These students go to school until ll:3O, then they eat and leave tor their jobs. During the hours they are in school they take English, occupational relations lthe equivalent ot modern problemsl and one elective, usually related to the trade which they are learning. This year there are seventeen boys and girls participat- ing in the work program. Miss Nash is the co-ordinator and works with the students. The student library helpers work in the library during their tree periods, They help shelve books and check them in and out.
