Dfuieqfadyq sidered to be the finest in the world-and we felt that neither i'Notre Damev in Paris nor SL Paul's in London could match the splendor and ornate beauty of this great German edifice. And what a sad contrast it was to see Nazi soldiers marching near the imposing and peaceful cathedral! From Cologne we went by train to Vogelenzang, Holland and on to the Jamboree where we arrived late at night in the cold and rain of a continental storm. At the Jamboree much of our time was spent swapping with foreign scouts, making new friends in the many camps, and drilling for shows to bc presented in the world arena along with stunts by scouts from the far corners of the globe. My buddy and I spent one week end touring around Holland with some friends. VVe saw quaint Dutch fishing boats, the Zuider Zee, the North Sea, innumerable canals, many windmills, and all the sights which pictures teach one to expect of Holland. We were surprised at the massive size of the dikes which were like hills-often as much as a quarter of a mile wide. The closing ceremonies over, we were very reluctant to leave the Jamboree where 26,000 scouts from every corner of the earth had camped together, ir- respective of race or creed, for two whole weeks. After an overnight crossing of the Channel from Holland to England, we arrived in quaint old London where we spent five very pleasant days. We felt con- siderably more at home there with people speaking comprehensible words and having papers from which R, . X it jaafzO'ctz' cfzflfwzede , free we could learn the news of the world in general, and of home in particular. Some of the highlights of our London visit were: seeing Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, the changing of the guard, the Tower of London with its rich display of crown jewels, Kew biological gardens, and Windsor Castleg-the largest of the many we saw on our trip. From London we traveled through the Shakes- peare country, viewed the famous writeris birthplace, Ann Hathaway's cottage, Trinity Church, Warwick Castle, the ruins of historic Kenilworth Castle, and the quiet little town of Stratford-on-Avon before leaving for Chester. Then a train trip to Liverpool, another liner-this time the Samaria -and good- bye to Europe! Returning by the Northern Route, we skirted New- foundland and sailed down the New England coast to New York. We had several rather rough days tfor us at least!j when the waves broke over the bow and many of us found that eating wasn't even an in- teresting pastime. The last four days of our trip, however, found the water's surface as quiet as a millpond. During these four days we saw several whales and many small fishing boats along the Grand Banks' of Newfoundland. ln contrast to the clear, hot days when we had sailed from New York two months before, our return was featured by fog and rain. But as the Manhattan skyline gradually came into view and the tiny tugs hauled us slowly toward the pier, we were happy in the thought of being back home after a grand trip which we shall not quickly forget.

TIIE SERVICE LEAGUE Walk your bike please. Oh, all right. Come on, Jean. Say, what right has he to make me walk my bike? Why, he's on the Service League. USO what? I still don't see how that gives him any authority over me! Every pupil has to obey those on the Service League. -iwh an Jusg because it's a school regulation, I guess. Anyhow, you are supposed to do what they tell you. Tell me more, who is on the Service.,LeagueP Well, it consists of several school student groups, hall monitors, traffic squad, cafeteria monitors, noon hour monitors, library assistants and office practice staff. ' What do they do? You just got a sample of the traffic squad. They help prevent accidents in front of school. You've seen those desks in the hall, haven't you? Sure, why? Those are the hall monitoris posts. The monitors r uire one oin from one floor to another to present . eq S 3 , , passes, showing their destinations. It sounds like a good chance to do homework. It is. You haven't anyone to bother you. It's nice, I know. I've been one. That's right, you are in your Junior year aren't you? Yes, this is your first year here, isn't it? Right, but go on with your tale. Yes'm. Have you ever tried to leave the lunch- room at noon, except by Exit T? No, why?

There are noon hour monitors who won't let you out. This is so the people at lunch won't disturb the classes that are in session. The library assistants help Miss Cashman. They stamp books, put them on the shelves in their correct places, and do general work about the library. The office practice staff members work for differ- ent teachers. They are commercial students and do it for experience. Is experience their only reward? Yes, it is for all jobs on the service league. This is a purely voluntary organization and the people on it gain valuable experience. I imagine that they gain confidence in themselves too. HowP ' Well, they know that the teacher in charge thinks them capable of doing good work, and are trustworthy enough so that they will work to the best of their ability. They know that someone trusts them and that means a lot. I never thought of that. You've made me want to join it now. Tell me how I can do it. I'd see Mr. Woodman if I were you. He has charge of the whole league and will be glad to help you, I'm sure. He will refer you to Miss Cashman, Miss Newman, Mr. Tracy, Mr. Westburg, Mr. Jermyn, Mr. Erenstone or some other teacher who has a branch of the leaguef' There goes the twenty after bell, the lecture is finished. Class is dismissed. So long, I'll meet you in the front hall tonight and don't make me wait an hour. I won't, maybe!
