A STREET ON THE EAST SIDE Noise! Noise! Noise! People going here and there. Rushing, pushing and moving along as best they can against the restless mobs coming from work. The deafening roar of a loud speaker from a radio store and the yelling and shouting of the pushcart peddlers add to the noise and confusion. From the group of happy little children can be heard the squeals of delight as they run to hear the organ grinder and to see his monkey. laughing, talking, shouting, singing-all of this keeps up the steady chatter of talk. Such is the scene found on this street in the evening. VVhat a different aspect one beholds on this street in the morning. In place of noise and chatter, all is peaceful and tranquil. One would hardly recognize it as the same street. The sun pours down its warm rays from a cloudless and serene sky upon the peaceful neighborhood. As you glance about, you see women with baby carriages putting their children to sleep. Looking up at the tall tenement houses, the bobbing heads of gossiping women can be seen as they whisper from window to window. All is calm and serene. The happy East Side is one of the most interesting places to visit. EVELVN MEYERSON, A3 A SUBWAY SCEN E Last Saturday I decided to take my little sister Ruth to Macy's Toyland. XYe started out bright and early and took a train to the city. Ry chance, Ruth sat near a policeman. For all her three years of age, Ruth was an unusually friendly child and was soon in deep conversation with the strong arm of the law. XYhen we reached Union Square, I warned Ruth that we would soon have to get off. All right, she said, but I have to kiss 'the policeman first. No sooner said than done. she kissed him, much to his dismay and to the amusement of the passengers in the train. Now, she said, with a twinkle in her dark eyes, 'Kyou kiss him too. I, why I-I, I spluttered and stammered, feeling my face Hush with embar- rassment. Ruth seemed to take an impish delight at mv confusion and insisted all the more. My heart sank for I knew that if she didn't get her way she would create a rumpus and I desired that less than anything in the world. XVhat was I to do? Vtfas there no way out of it? I looked around wildly. XVe would arrive at our destination in a few minutes. I glanced at Ruth's determined little face and I knew there was no hope for me. Come on, urged Ruth, tugging at my arm. I was terror-stricken. All the people in the train seemed to be looking at me expectantly. The train rocked crazily! I was growing dizzy. I closed my eyes. Ruthls voice seemed to come from afar. Now for the ordeal! My heart ham- mered! XVhat would the people in the train think of me? And the policeman? He would never understand how spoiled Ruth was. I opened my eyes and- why I was in my own room in bed.

The Distribution of Biology Badges. The day arrived when the badges were to be distributed to the girls by Miss 3lcCullagh. The girls in RCG, RDG and QBG who had worked on the projects for the Children's Fair. were called to the platform to receive the honor. The girls in RCG and QAG received white badges representing the prize won by their entry. The girls in RUG and QBG received red ones. I am sure Miss McCullagh was proud to pin the badges on girls who had worked so hard so that our school would win. The Children's Fair. This exhibition, which was held at the Museum of Natural History, December 4th to December 9th, was a great event for school children. The purpose of this exhibit was to have the various science students and club members show their knowledge and interest in nature. Some pupils made booklets on the works of great biologists. Others demonstrated health in the home, the care of animals, the growth of plants, biologic principles, etc. Children of the lower grades also par- ticipated in the Fair by drawing pictures of various animals. XVe had two entries in the Junior High School Section, o11e under Biological Prin- ciples, and one under Great Biologists. On'the whole there was a Hne collection, visited by thousands of school children, their parents and teachers. Many prizes were awarded I am proud to say that Corlears was one uf the many winners. APPEAL The Biology Room is an interesting place, with its colored charts, models and living specimens. But Spring is approaching when there are so many beautiful things in nature. XYill you not bring us something from your many hikes, your visits to the country and seashore? XVe want more insects, amphibia, flowers, and plants. Vkfe shall be glad to have gifts of posters representing hygiene or commercial representation of natural products, HARY E BING Tm Ie of B. Z0 i . , cz r zo gy. 4

CURRENT EVENTS IN THE ENGLISH CLASS We are giving one period a week in our English classes to the study of Current Events. We use the Literary Digest magazine for this work and we look forward eagerly to each new copy. XVe make one report each week on some tpoic of general interest. We follow a brief outline and do not write our report directly from the magazine. We read over the event until we are familiar with it. W'e take a few notes if necessary and then at some later time we write out a report, trying to use clear and effective English. VVe have thus covered many topics of general interest. IVe are learning to choose our reading from reliable and worth while newspapers and magazines. NVe are learning to withhold our judgments until we know all the facts in a case. We are getting information which will enable us to talk about the affairs of the world in an intelligent and interesting manner, but best of all, we are learning how to express ourselves in clear, forceful, correct English. Some of the best reports are posted on our bulletin board where we may all see them and thus be encouraged to do better work. FANNIE LEVINE, A4 MOTION PICTURE CLUB Every XVednesday during the seventh period the members of the Motion Picture Club meet in room 207 under the supervision of Miss johnson. The pictures that are shown to us are very interesting as well as instructive. Most of them are on history and geography. This term we have seen The XVater Cycle, The Colony That Settled Near Massachusetts Bay, Transpor- tation and Exportation of American Products. IVe have seen many other pictures as interesting as these. I am sure the time that is spent in the Motion Picture Club is a delight to all as it is to EVELYN GIMOVSKY, RCG, A Mcmbrr of Motion, Picture Cflub. THINGS ACCOMPLISHED IN MILLINERY Are you one of those girls who intend to take the Industrial course? If you are I am sure you will enjoy this type of work. As the Industrial Work is composed of two departments, Dressmaking and Millinery, and as I am now in the Millinery Department, I am going to tell you what we made. Useful articles, like lamp shades, hangers, baby bonnets, wire frames, and buckram were prepared, and hats were remodeled. This course trains you for your future life. It is very interesting. IYIINNIE ILXURIE, SBI THE MODERN BUSINESS GIRL Many girls who have succeeded in the business offices today come from the Corlears Business School. Mrs. Donohue, who sends these girls out, is sure that they are well prepared to meet the requirements of the business world. Neatness, accuracy and politeness are the things an employer looks for. Our girls are accurate in their typewriting and stenography, and their manners rank higher than the average. An employer will not have about him an untidy and discour- teous girl. VVhy should he? It is his right to demand that candidates for a position be well-trained. ELEANOR HIRSCHENFANG, B11 6
