At the coffee hour pictured here. Mr. Williams is the gracious host. Each faculty mem- ber takes his turn as host, furnishing coffee and some tempting tidbits.

Slate History Mr. Harold Reade Chemistry, Physics, General Science Mr. Richard Baldwin Industrial Arts In our library, our faithful, patient teachers have a chance to use their few precious moments of leisure to check up on the events of the day as they meet informally around a library table. In the upper corner, several of our teachers are taking advantage ol our library s new world map facilities as they find the locality of the world events. Mr. Smith has evidently found the right spot, as he indicates with a pencil. Mrs. Webb, our helpful librarian, is agreeing, while Mrs. Beard and Mr. Williams look on with in- terest. Mr. Beard linds his own solution to the problem. Four of our coaches. Mr. Larsson. Mr. Peterson. Mr. Comet and Mr. Morris share the sport section ol the paper as they meet congenially around the library table. Mr. Peterson has evidently found a loophole in the strategy of one of our opponents. Mr. Lars- son and Mr. Cornett check the league listings, and Mr. Morris makes his calculations for the next guest guesser contest.
