Monitors, Slip Collectors Give Real Service Courtesy, Devotion, Dependability Widely Commended l'XVait a minute, buddy. You can't go out. That,s right, I forgot that this was a lunch period. I'll go to Lincoln Building through the passageway, not the street. Such situations confront the 33 noon monitors who are sta- tioned daily from 11:35 to 1:35 at the various doors of the three buildings to prevent the exit of all students except those who have permission to eat lunch at home. The monitors, under the di- rection of Mr. E. G. Baxter, not only have to watch the en- trance and exit of these certain students, but are expected to co- operate in preventing loitering about the doorways. Each monitor serves during two half-hour lunch periods. When he is not checking depar- tures and arrivals, he may work on his lessons in the chair placed near the door for him. Every three weeks the office issues a list giving the names of the students who are permitted to go home for lunch, the time they may leave, and the door by which they depart. Each moni- tor regularly receives his door list. It is quite generally agreed that the monitors face perhaps the greatest test of honor offered to any group of students in the school. With nearly 300 students leaving the building to eat lunch, it is recognized that it may be a great temptation to a moni- tor to let one or two intimate friends leave without permission. These boys are to be com- mended for their courage in re- sisting temptation, their cour- tesy to their fellow students, and their loyalty to their school. Besides the monitors another group of boys facilitates office routine by collecting the absence lists each morning from 43 home rooms. More than a dozen boys make this collection trip. Each boy calls at certain home rooms and gets the slips which the home room teachers have left outside the door in the name plate. From these lists, a stu- dent typist assembles the Daily Absence List, types, and mime- ographs it. By ten a. m. 11 copy is in each teacher's nameplatc. During the last period each day boys collect the classroom absence lists andtake them to the office for checking.

To National Light Squad Saves Electricity 35 Are Elected School Appreciates Their Dependability Light Squad First Row-Earl Pallas, Leonard Moody, Bob Penfound, Judson Weyman, Henry Hart, Bob Smith, John Price, Tom Vaughn. Second Row-Paul Hayes, Bill France, Leroy Gotro, Frank Bedocs, Merton Mason, Louis Hecock, Robert Dyke, Harold Blake. Beside the monitors another group of boys have been selected to make the in-between-classes traffic less congested, by assum- ing the responsibility for addi- tional lighting of corridors and for turning off lights after classes begin again. The light squad of 16 boys renders a real service to the stu- dents and teachers as well as to the Board of Education and the tax payers. Principal Shively feels that the lessons in thrift shown by these boys in their cheerful co- operation should be of inestim- able value to each student and teacher. On dark days students emerge from class rooms to find that gloomy hall ways have been flooded with electricity and that dim corners of locker alcoves have been transformed into light places. Students have not had to grope about for light switches to banish dimness in corridors nor have the latest comers to class or study hall needed to think about turning off the cor- ridor lights for the ensuing 45 minute period. Two boys are assigned to each period of the day: one has the responsibility in Lincoln and Washington Buildings, the other, in the Technical Building. Twenty-Two L I L l l L I I I u Honor Society Principal Shively announces the names of 35 students as members of the National Honor Society on May 21. Of these 24 are 12 A's, four are 12 B's, and 7 are 11 A's. This is the largest number to be elected at any one time since the chapter here was organized in 1926. The largest number heretofore was 14 in 1929. Membership selection is based on scholarship, service, leader- ship, and character. New members this year are as follows: 12 A's Richard Bell Earl Demos Josephine Faulkner June Gregory Ellen Howenstine Betty Jackson Robert Lec John Lersch Louise Lersch Jeanette Linville Emily Pitkin Jean Plocher Elizabeth Prunner Robert Roe Betty Schaefer Mary Emily Scott Florence Sellers Jeanette Sheppard Jane Shively Anna Stolz Merle Van Oster Gilbert Walker- Wanda Wylqrent Virginia Zaiser 12 B's Beverly Foley Lucille Mohrman Cora Louise Ramser Virginia Stewart 11 A's Robert Crandall Emma Curtiss Margaret Herald Carl Davis William Lersch Richard Fey Homer Price

The A Cappella Choir has been especially busy, as the members have given many con- certs. One which was very suc- cessful was the Christmas Con- cert given at the high school on December 23. The stage was decorated with two candlelebra, one on either side, and a church window beau- tifully lighted at the rear. Some of the songs given were Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly, Sing Noel, Lo! How A Rose Eler Blooming, Silent Night and O' Come All Ye Faithful. The Girls' Glee Club played an important part at this con- cert in serving as an antiphonal chorus, and answering the A Cappella Choir in the last two songs, giving the effect of an echo. The choir has also given three other concerts: one at Ely School and two at Elyria High School. Participating in the Lake Erie League Festival was considered, at least by the choir members themselves, as being the most important event of their season. They sang three songs separate- ly: Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee, by Bach, Good Good Night, Good Night, a Twenty-Fozu' Hymn. Songs which they sang togeth- er with the other Lake Erie League choirs were: O Morn of Beauty, Swansea Town, a Rus- sian Folk Song, and Soldier, Sol- dier. The oflicers are Fred Weily, president, Martha Horan, secre- tary, Alice Link and Martha Horan, librarians. Losing a score of members through graduation will be made good next fall by entrants from the junior choir so that the membership status of 55 will be maintained.
