i OFFICE Should our school be compared to a great manufacturing corporation-we would say that the teachers were its produc- tion department as by their guidance and labor is knowledge created out of in many cases very raw material. No factory could long exist or even be created without an administrative department-therefore in our school we have what we call the office. Here we find those quiet inobtrusive workers whose duty it is to keep records, offer guidance, help find a book, write a letter, make appointments, and in a word do all the essential gil ' ' - esriu.

Because of present day con- ditions, pupils wish to know more about national affairs and relationships. This accounts for the increasing interest in civics, social problems, Pan Pacific, and International Rela- tions classes. Ancient, world, United States, and California history are given as background for the more modern subjects. Those teachers who are responsible for the active interest in Social Science are: Miss Emma Wood, Miss Hazel Martin, Miss Athol Moore, Miss Martha Schulhof, Mrs. Harriet Peter- son, Miss Elizabeth Summerhays, Mrs. Emily Thompson, Mrs. Gladys White, Mrs. Margaret Davis and Mr. Harry Under- l7
