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!

L. , fn, THE BEND IN TIIE Il0All By ELAINE KOHLMETZ Time pauses ne'er a moment, But goes on in endless speed, To leave the idle man lie in despair, And onward urge the one who seeks More knowledge for his share. Tonight once seemed a golden dream Fantastic and remote, Tonight once seemed the object of our prayer A shining beacon which has glowed To light the bend that breaks the road. It makes us proud to think the Fates Tonight respect us graduates. Yet so much life is left to live Where greater things must still be learned. A still-sealed chapter is begun In life when early youth departs, As we, with faith by God bestowed, Stand on the threshold of tomorrow And face the bend that breaks the road. With .our diplomas near our hearts, We turn away from past romance Already gloriously lived, To build upon its sturdy base The hopes and dreams that light each face. The volume opens to this age As slowly turns another pageg A newer chapter is bcung A The book of life goes on and on!
