' Poster Exhibit ,- Sxk. U LL the art classes had been working very hard on posters for the tax raise. Mr. Ryan had asked for posters, and every art pupil was doing his best in order not only to please him but help win the school tax. As each poster was Finished it was hung in the hall. At last the judges came and awarded prizes not from the artistic side especially but to those who were able to carry over the idea most directly. Some portrayed the school, others the happy children going to school, and one showed a large calendar with the date, reminding all not to forget to vote yes. The Hrst Grand Prize was given to Harry Randle of the eighth gradeg the second Grand Prize to Avice Close of the ninth grade. A first prize was also given to Kathyrn Steinburg of the eighth grade al- lotment drawing and to Eugene Ruane of the seventh grade drawing.

It was the same in Thrift Stamps, in one hundred per cent junior Life subscriptions, and in putting over our first Aud. session. We had the right kind of spirit, the spirit of true, Blewetts. At the beginning of our ninth grade world, Mr. De la Roche became our adviser. Our officers are as follows: President ,,......... Sidney Hiken Reporter .... -..... S am Van Dyne Vice-President . . .Virginia Beavers Congresswoman. ..Wi1helmina Grey Secretary .......... Mary. McGrath Congressman ......... john Darsie Asst. Secretary ......
