ALL AROUND THE SCHOOL A lot of noise is issuing from the third floor corridors and it's not yet recess time. Upon close examination we find it to be the traffic boys, congregated in a knot down at the far end of the hall, blasting forth in enthusiastic discussion. Alas, all happy times must end. Mr. Weymouth has stepped into the hall and the merry confab dies a cruel death. The bell has rung, and recess is upon us. A quick look into Mrs. Fletcher's homeroom shows Edna Benner with a candy bar which Lorraine is trying to beg from her and Happy striding magnifi- cently into the room. Mrs. Fletcher, who sits at her desk sur- rounded by Keystone material, looks up from her work with an ex- pression of wonderment on her face that these seniors should be so apt in wasting their time. . Journeying across the hall into Mrs. Brown's homeroom we are in time to see Ralph Rowe hurrying out to join his bevy of sopho- more girl friends in the hall. Conspicuously absent from the room is Donald Spear who is somewhere in the building with Jean Greenlaw. Still in the room are Katherine Rhodes cramming up on History, Barbara Vaughan taking it easy, and Mrs. Brown pondering over tomorrow's assignment. In the hall, Mr. Rhoades stands by his door discussing base- ball with Andy. we hurry by, for time is getting short. Running down the stairs, we find everything well in hand with Mrs. Mc- Connell and Mrs. Maddoeks keeping watch at their respective ends of the corridor. And now downstairs for a candy bar. The crowd about the stand is terrific. By the time we reach the front, the candy's sold out and the bell has rung. Time for our tour to end. A quick dash up the stairs gets us to the third floor in time to see the traffic boys come out into the hall with plenty of noise and laughter-followed by Mr. Weymouth again who gives it the axe. SENIOR WAR COURSES IN A WAR YEAR With America at war and the draft calling up all of the 18 year olds, high schools have added extra courses. Instituted at Crosby this year for those interested in aviation in all its as- pects is a course in preflight aeronautics dealing with general directions in flying an airplane, aerodynamics, avigation, meter- ology, and aids and safeguards for pilots. Being rather a diffi- cult course, aeronautics develops concentration and intensity of purpose on the part of the student who takes this course with a will to master the fundamentals. For those who have taken a minimum of mathematics and sud- denly realize that if they wish to get ahead in the Army or Navy it is necessary for them to have more, Basic Mathematics is the ideal course. Taught by Mr. Stuart, it embodies all the funda- mentals of algebra, arithmetic, geometry, and trigonometry. This course if studied diligently will benefit in the same rewards of concentration and ability to study as derived from aeronautics. THE KEYSTONE A A A A
