As Woodward's basketball teams are supported well and aleading squad is usually produced, this addition is considered a neces- sity. Under the new seats a recre- ation room and storage room for the print shop are to be built. On the first floor a storage room, hospital, emergency room, nurses room, boys' examination room, and hand ball courts are to be added. The construction work, which is a W.P.A. project, is not ex- pected to interfere with either the boys' or girls' gym classes, since the early fall classes are held out of doors, and very little construction work is to be done in the gym proper.

Pupils Allowed Two Clubs One Major Cabinet Office Following the new club sched- ule, students will be allowed to join not more than two clubs of their own choosing and may hold only one major office. The Student Council will not be included as a club and only the editor and business manager of the Sa a and Tattler respec- tively will not be eligible for an- other office. To enable more pupils to enter into the school activities and gain experience in club work is the main purpose of this change. Painters Absorbed In Job Cover Art Dept's Murals Smells of the paint and plaster used to improve Woodward's walls brought smiles of apprecia- tion to teachers' faces---that is, all but one. While praises rained upon the paint jobs in other rooms, Miss June Anderson looked upon her walls with dis- may, thinking dark and doleful thoughts. The painters had com- pletely and effectively covered the Polish murals which bord- ered her room. As a result, the pictures which had gained pres- tige in school will no longer at- tract and hold the attention of admiring mms. . . R. K. SHELINE NAMES WEANER SAGA HEAD Shumaker Made Assistant,-.

Right now you can ad- dress my mail to the Ford V-87 and as yours truly gasped unbe- lievingly she hastened to explain that until she finds the apart- ment for which she is looking, she has all her belongings packed into her new car and it is, figur- atively speaking, her present home.

Numerous Reasons Offered By Pupils For Taking French Questioning her first year stu' dents as to why they are taking French, Miss Adrienne Curtis discovered that the foremost eason was because of college redits. A close second to the leading eason was the love of art and he pupil's acquaintances in the rench department. Only a few elected this language because f their interest in French or heir desire to travel, that is raveling with books and imagi- ation. 1 GLEE CLUB ELECTS HIRZEL PRESIDENT 71 To Sing With Groupg Dan Kryzaniak To Lead Ba1 Qin A The Glee club has as its enroll- ment 71 members to start off the new term.

Boys Would Crowd Out Girls In Home Economics Classes Statistics obtained from the home economics department arouse the question of whether the boys or the girls will pre- dominate in the kitchen. Enough boys had selected this subject to completely crowd out all other classes. However, the girls were given preference, al- lowing only one hour to the ad- vanced boyis class.

Robie has suddenly turned to nursing or that Miss Louise Tip- pett teaches geometry. Several room changes have taken place. Miss Amie Miller has moved to 230, and Miss Hazel Coy's famous treatments for cuts and bruises can be secured in room 240. Miss Tippett in 147 and Mr. Robie in 154 have given up climbing stairs for exercise.

One third more stories will be need- ed- to. fill the column, thereby bringing more news to subscrib- ers of the paper. .That legibility of the stories will not be decreased is amply proven by a glance at any teach- er's curriculm schedule which is also printed in 8 point type.
