MISS DORIS JACKSON The Craftsman’s Helper A mastercraftsman’s work is difficult and requires a helper so that it may he accomplished more easily and quickly. This important job is carried on by Miss Jackson. The instructions on how and where to apply the colors are given her by Mr. Buckey and she very skilfully carries them out. She is always willing: to direct us in any matter and helps in any way she can. From her we receive information and guidance in any problem that may be troubling: us. Our colors are mixed and then applied each in its proper place by Miss Jackson; thus, she makes them blend into an even greater picture of harmony. 11

The Sophomores Resemble an Outline Sketch Coming to high school for the first time, the soophomore is an incomplete picture. All the basic materials necessary for making a finished picture are there. He, however, is just the rough outlien who as time passes grows and develops adding knowledge and culture, which are the highlights and shadings that add life and charm to the complete picture. In association with different personalities in high school he begins to acquire the judgment, tolerence, and poise that marks the cultured person. The system of dividing the school into grops helps the pupil to make many new friends, because he is assembled with boys and girls other than those coining from his former school. Although important, this is by no means the only function of a group. Meeting for a few moments everyday in the home-room with a teacher as advisor the students transact neces- sary business. Each group lias a president who takes charge. Announcements and problems concerning the school are received over the public address system. Since tin sophomore class has no large project, the average sophomore has much time to devote to darning about the school and preparing to be a good junior. The fine spirit and rousing cheers of all the sophomores at the games, coupled with their keen enjoyment, is inspiring to the players. Their student government members, elected because of their ability and industry, do an efficient job of representing their class. These members, six representatives and two senators, are elected the proceeding year in the junior high schools. The 1940-1941 representatives are Helen Jean Bartlett, Herald Reese, James Beech, Frances Colbert, Norma Grise, Bruce McGinnis, Marjorie Reed, Frances Samargo; the senators are Turley Fleming and Mary Elizabeth Williamson.
