no oc- FLASHING five-tenths of a sec- ond from the previous fire drill record, fire squad established a new record by emptying the building of students in forty-seven and five-tenths seconds. In addition to conducting fire drills, the twelve senior, fifteen junior and twelve sophomore mem- bers of fire squad were responsible for eliminating confusion in the halls. The halls were supervised each day from 8:30 to 8:45 and from 12:45 to 1:00 by sophomore and junior members taking their turns at this duty every other week. Senior members had regular hall duty but did easionally act as substitutes. Nominations for lire squad mem- bers are made by the junior high school principals. Members are chosen from these nominations by the entire fire squad membership. Fire squad members held a meet- ing every Thursday noon to discuss current problems with their spon- sor, Miss Ruth Miller. Holland Knight served as fire chief, John Edwards as assistant chief and Max Sowers as secretary- treasurer. Tor Row: Fitzsimmons, Angle. Murray, Grant. T. Shultz. Harper. Sowers. A.

Smith, Mueller treasurers HIGH commendation is de- served by our hard working group of student treasurers. In cooperation with Miss Mary Mc- Nally, general treasurer and her assistant, Alita Wunderle, they have again proven the resource- fulness of the student body. Har- riet, the largest single enterprise undertaken this year, was financed entirely by this group of budget wizards. A specific budget was allowed the production. Checks had to be signed, countersigned, and approved for costumes and property. Books had to be bal- anced. Much of this was done by capable Alita Wunderle. Our financial accounting system is simple, with money for all activ- ities in a general checking account. There is a dual benefit from this; all activities gain in case of a de- ficit in some department and there is more accuracy in accounting. Another good point is the three- way check system in writing requisitions. After the student has signed them, the sponsor of that organization attaches his sig- nature. As a final check, Prin- cipal Adams signs it. The requi- sitions then go to Miss McNally, who writes the checks. This sys- tem works for the benefit of every- one. One outstanding student trea- surer is Harry Price, who has worked many hours each week for three years. He has borne the title of student treasurer for ath- letics proudly, making a financial accounting of all receipts and ex- penditures. Twcnty-ono
