The first thing you'd miss if you should step in the door would be the big, old clock that was seldom right and always caused watch owners to glance at their own to see if it were telling the truth. We have a new clock, but it's only half-pint size and hangs in Mr. Beville's office. Wltile it's small, it still rings with a lusty tone, so we have no trouble knowing when to change classes. And after you'd missed the sight of the old clock, you would realize with a start that the halls have a different look. This new look was ac- complished with the use of paint-a blue-grey dado with creamy yellow above. One of the Third graders was heard to remark, Hot dog! my fa- vorite colors! All of us wouldn't subscribe to her tastes in colors, but it's really very clean and bright looking. The Auditorium, too, has a new dress. The tops of the long windows were bricked in, the ceiling painted white, the walls peach, and the woodwork blue-grey. Wltat with the new cyclorama pur- chased last spring before you left, and the new stage furniture, you would never know it was the same place. We like to show off our audi- torium, now. Whoopee!

S. over the doorway are barely visible because of the trees, but we know you will agree that its outside appearance has changed very little. The trim was freshly painted in the summer of 1948, so repairs to the roof were the only major improvements made. The hot and damp summer weather kept the lawn on the Tyler Street side nice and green. But the East lawn is still having a struggle where :1:Qsmggg,, students try to cut across corners and save a few precious seconds as they make a dash for the street. The bright orange balls on the pyracantha bushes were never lovelier, and there are many cones on the deodara cedar trees by the front doors. Those same rains caused the shrubbery around the cottage to grow and grow and grow. Mt. Micks wishes some of them might grow across the road around the Shop building. TF - X

'E ii R Future Ruilrouders Get in u little Practice The only classrooms to get a face-lifting were the science rooms in the basement where Mr. Pollard holds forth. By the way, Mr. Pollard has complete charge of the Audio-Visual Aid Program in addition to teaching General Math, Chemistry and Algebra II. There was not a sufficient en- rollment in Physics this year to warrant having a class, so Physics will appear on next year's sched- ule in place of Chemistry. To assist him in carrying on the movie program, Mr. Pollard has a crew of students who operate the projector for him: Harold Rodgers, James Stables, Arthur Davis, 8:2935 A. M ..... Mr. Pollard Still Keeps 'em Outside Bobby Lynch, Carl Henderson, Frances Webb, Percy Cole, and Henry Crittenden. The Library is the prettiest room of them all. It is light green all over-even the shelves! It is so attractive, and cool and quiet looking-though we often have to be reminded by more than the paint that we should remain quiet Miss Fitz- gerald has as her assistants: Ann Jennings, Carolyn Crannis, Courtney Jones, Kay Crittenden, Mary Ann Brightwell, Myrtle Sivley, Nancy Anderson and Frances Webb A Bird's-eye View From the Library Window Ledge , .Elf i
