Any Pencils? Any Paper? Any News? Questions may come and questions may gom-but in East Higlfs office we promise to show that questions go on forever! Even daily routine work in the East High office is im- mensely interesting. Registration brings much copy work, checking, listing. bulletins to teachers and a never-ending line of students who have changed their mind. As soon as hminds have been settled. general rules made known and space found in the office to make a full turn, the general correspondence, filing, stencil-cutting and re- cording begins in earnest. Each day the office keeps in touch with homes of ab- sentees. truancies and consistent tardies. Warnirig cards and report cards also maintain a direct contact between school and homes. Financial reports, monthly attendance reports, yearly requisitions, inventories. payrolls and miscellaneous re- ports must be taken care of for the superintendent's and secretary's offices. After graduation a fairly large percentage of students enter college and transcripts of credits earned by each stu- dent during his high school career must be sent to colleges. Information desired by such institutions requires accurate records as to ranking in class. general average maintained during high school career as well as a general knowledge of outside activities of students. General office work, such as principafs secretarial work, telephone calls. meeting the public. notifying students and teachers of daily requirements. is continuous. A definite contact with 750 or more students and faculty members means a varied day abounding in interest. I. Ness. Registrar. Assistant Editor Takes Slips Does any one have time to take these slips around?,, Well, Iim standing in the office, so I'm sucked in, as per usual. When I burst into the lab,' I was greeted by an offen- sive odor differing not a great deal from the scent of a certain not so civil little striped pussy. Oh. mel Handing the slip over. I made a mad dart for the door. From the chemistry hang-out I proceeded down the hall to the room of the budding stenographers. The monotonous clickety-click of the typewriters was almost as annoying to the auditory organs as the odor was to the olfactory organs. D Around the Halls and into the Classrooms Judging from the squeamish expressions of distaste on the faces of the girls in the zo- ology room,I wagered they were dissecting angleworms. I was right. g'Tweet-tweet. I was in the girls' gym. That must have been a terrible foul. Peace and quiet reigned in the library. History must not be so bad after all. pe That surely was some snaz- zy , picture that boy was paint- ing in the art class. Talk about your perfect bas- kets. That kid will be as good is Walsh 'cause that one surely Hswishedf, L'Buzz-buzz! Bang! Banglli That's the workshop. So much noise, I donit see how they ever can tell what they are doing. I almost forgot to leave the slip. Arlists To Be Hourly Men Halls Of Silence Yklm Xtvu Zp Uh YUIIIIFU Twenty-three

Success or failure of the school is in his hands. lf he succeeds, the peo- ple will not regret what they spend in the way of taxes: if he fails, the dam- age wrought is inestimable. The principal has charge of the en- tire building. He must see that the phy- sical needs are supplied and that the entire plant is in running order. In conjunction with the superin- tendent the principal must provide the proper courses of study, and make the right selection of text books. Policies outlined by the principal. with the cooperation of the faculty, be- come a part of the high school organi- zation. Faculty committees on finance, scholarship, assembly, faculty meetings. clubs, and on such matters of school administration, are appointed by him. and he is usually an honorary member of such committees. All club activities must receive the sanction of the prin- cipal. He issues bulletins and announce- ments and signs requisitions for sup- plies and repairs. Matters of discipline are referred to him for settlement. Mul- titudinous duties concerning administra- tion are taken care of daily.
