Boys' Club Operating under a different sys- tem this semester, the boys have organized their committees during the study periods, for transportation and employment make it difficult for the boys to help with Boys' Club Work before and after school hours. Consequently, they have made this adjustment and have organized a major activity in each study period for the convenience of the boys. Period One: The activity of this period is Friendship This commit- tee Welcomes newcomers to the school by taking them around to their different classrooms and intro- ducing them to their respective teachers and classmates.

Contacts are maintained with boys absent because of illness or injury.

Miss Van Horn. , AND OFFICE Woodturning, auto repair- ing and poster-making fall into the category of lndustrial Arts. The boys in Auto Shop put education into practical use by repairing both their own and the teachers' automobiles. ln Wood shop they are mak- ing various articles on lathes, such as ash-stands and checker-boards for service- men confined in hospitals. Working on the Servicemen's Roster are the classes devoted to lettering, much of Whose time goes into fine printing for posters. Many of the students who have had the opportunity to study these interesting tasks Will find a future hobby in the training they have received. ij Representing those valu- able little things in the life of a school student are the staffs of the office, library and study hall, and those other stu- dents Who so willingly give their time. A place of guiet, Where thinking is best done, is the study-hall, where much time is also given by students for checking roll, making out slips for attendance and keeping records. Help and assistance is readily available for those who have trouble with their lessons. ln the office, girls who have had clear school records are chosen to help. Records of grades, absences and de- merits are kept for the con- venience of both the students and teachers. 15
