Paper airplanes! Broken windows! Twenty foot ex- tension cords! Thus our JANITORS are kept busy with a thousand and one important duties from the moment they appear on the job about 5:00 a.m. until their day is completed, some- times as late as 10:00 p.m. In addition to their regular duties, the janitors take time to show some freshman how to open his locker, to repair an extension cord for the home economics de- partment, or to rescue a stray dog from one of the classrooms. Our janitors are never idle for a single moment. Besides being an expert at the wheel. BUS DRIVERS need to be deaf in order to put up with the constant chatter. shouting, and sing- ing of the students, and need the patience of job to cope with the many other problems which arise. Furthermore, the bus drivers are always on hand to take the pep club to an out-of-town ball game, the band to a parade, or to furnish transportation for any other school activity. There are two groups of students who per- form an invaluable service to the school, the gate crew and the usher corps. The GATE CREW, managed by Mr. Kirk- man, is always the first to arrive and the last to leave the football and basketball games. Even in the coldest weather. they sell and col- lect tickets, hand out programs, and watch for any back-fence climbers. At least four students and three teachers serve on the gate crew at each game. The work done by the students is voluntary. Not only do they work without pay, but they also miss seeing the ball games. most precious cargo. From the jovial expression on their faces, they seem to enjoy their task. if' A Q if -ll!

,Jn Miss Eula Camp, head ol English and dramatics department, and sponsor ol National Thespians, has B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Oklahoma. Mrs. Kane, the teacher, gives helplul hints about studving English to fresh- men Thurman Cox, Lewis Caldwell, and Patsy Davenport. We learn to write, and to The purpose of the ENGLISH DEPARTMENT is to coaordinate the four years of English in such a manner that. although the-re is some reviewing each year, the student is introduced to a different phase of grammar, literature, and creative work. Some- of these' courses are general in scope to meet all needs: some are specific to meet special needs of certain groups. For that reason some were grouped homogeneously and others heterogene-ously. In order that all seniors might receive special training in both GRAMMAR and AMERICAN LITERATURE. two years of English were com- bined into one. The classes were divided into three groups: Miss Camp taught a college- preparatory class for those who planned to continue their educa- tion in college or in the business field, and a remedial class for those students whose- background in English was inadequate for advanced work. Mrs. Anderson taught a general course. For the-ir creative writing. the seniors composed a short story or a play. Under the guidance of Miss Camp. who is head of the English department. the juniors began their work in English literature by writing an autobi- ography. From Beowulf to Galsworthy's 20th Century Writings, they studied how the people, customs. and languages changed as the centuries rolled by. The second semester the students studied a unit on the writing of poetry. After reading and collecting modern poems. they wrote a minimum of ten original poems, including ballads. sonnets. free' verse, and triolets.
