Amplification Squad With Mr. Frick acting as sponsor, the Ampli- fication Squad consisted of three senior boys. Throughout the year these boys gave their assistance at practically all the school functions. For the football and basketball games they provided amplification, for the Harlequin and Senior Plays, sound effects, music, and lighting. They also furnished amplification and lighting for the Spring Concert, Summer Concerts, and Gym Demonstration, and made recordings as an aid to students who later appeared on radio programs, A new outdoor speaker, which was presented by the Class of 1946, was added to the squad's equipment. , Projection Squad Composed of seventeen boys, the Projection Squad operated this year under faculty sponsor, Mr. Xvuertenberger and student chairman, jack Connard. During the year eighty-five movies were shown to classes and clubs. A decided improvement was effected when a new sixteen M. M. Victor projector was pur- chased. A special lens which may be inter- changed with the regular lens permits projection from the rear of the auditorium. The projector also has an automatic cut-off which prevents the tearing of Hlm if anything goes wrong with the tilm track.

TYPISTS AND CLERICAL ASSISTANTS Io KENTOPP, IEAN NLYERS, DORIS SLAUGHTER KAY HARP, FLORENCE EVANICK, MARILYN Yos'r Though an unorganized group, this club was one of the most helpful and occupied g 1'1m ups in the school. The six girls were all from senior high school, each being well acquainted with the library. Their duties were mainly in taking care of the circulation of books during the time they were on duty. The girls took charge in their free time, often helping other students to locate hooks and magazines. Not only did the library assistants help Miss Swartzlander, but they acquired useful kn fmwx' ledge which will be of benetit to them in college and public libraries. Consisting of a group of assistants to Miss Nlartin, who is in charge of the school,s spelling program, this club not only corrected the spelling papers hut also recorded the results every marking period. Each Thursday the activity period was set aside tor spelling instruction. Monthly tests were given which determined the marking period grade. In addition to the weekly homeroom spelling, a class was conducted twice a week for those who tailed the homeroom spelling thc previous year. More interest was shown this year than ever before in the Yvork Experience Program as twice as many students were enrolled in the courses YVith the aid of Pliss Cliffton, faculty chairman, local employers were able to contact students who wished to work on a part-time basis. One of the reasons tor the project's gn sww' th was the opening of it to students of all courses instead ofjust the Commercial course as in previous years. Students who participated in the program had theirischedules arranged so that they could leave school at l :30. A variety ot' positions were taken by the students, including clerk, stenographer, hospital attendant, mechanic, and beautician's assistant, 812 y
