QNIi day. last semester, a smell of earth pervaded the air. The scent led to the old work shop room. A busy group was working there. The floor was being tom up and because of the avalanche of boards being thrown from the window, students were moved to feeling a great pain in the regions of their chests. It couldn’t really be possible that the school was being torn down from the bottom up! This year, after its redecorating, the hall was ready for occupancy. As the other rooms of Arthur Hill, this is a room of many duties. While it serves daily as a study, lunch, and waiting room, debaters and auctioneers have made use of it. A sight-seeing tour will reveal many things. As a student enters, he sees a large room, well-lighted by fifteen lights and thirteen windows of which only twelve arc doing duty. There are scats for approximately one hundred and thirty students. Fourteen of these seats are formed from old fashioned double desks and might be very convenient for a two-some, but a teacher's desk stands in front of the room. The chair is occupied by the following teachers during the following hours: Mr. Robert Thornton, first; Miss Florence Wells, second; Coach Stanley An- derson, advisory; Mr. Ivan McCormack, third; Coach Anderson, noon; Miss Coila Start, fourth; and Mr. William Lee. fifth. These teachers arc stationed in the study hall to sec that quiet is maintained and that all students assigned there, show up every day and spend an hour diligently studying. Of course, any one can use the hall as a study room during vacant hour, but those assigned there must do so until they are informed that their presence is no longer required. There is a conglomeration of furniture and j ossessions spread around the hall. At the front of the room stands a lxx kcase with a new set of thirty volumes of the encyclopedia Americana. There arc two large and two small dictionaries to enable a student to read these huge volumes. An account of the rest of the contents of the room is as follows-, three pigeon-hole arrange- ments to hold books, one pair of gym shoes, four black boards, two entrances, three tables, three pencil sharpeners, one mirror, one container for used paper cups, three waste paper baskets of which one is an old paste board box. one paper cup container made by the Paper Utilities Co., Inc. of New York City, forty-five coat hooks, and an uncountable number of books explaining why some students don’t have their lessons next day. So, with this large and varied assortment of furnishings, Arthur Hill’s study hall was put into operation this year and now offers the student, desirous of knowledge, a quiet place to study in except when the band, or orchestra, or glee clubs are practicing.
