'I Unheralded and unsung, the students who help in the office form an important unit in, the efficiency with which any high school functions. The Student Office Staff consists almost entirely of volunteers who sacrifice their study periods for the best interest of the School. They always have a Hair for office routine, and are willing, conscientious, and trustworthy. There are a very few who are assigned to the work, and these, too, possess the same desirable traits. The experience they receive in office practice may prove valuable training for their careers in business. Each of the teacher office assistants has her own student help, and there is a wide variety of duties to perform. 3 One of the most helpful of the accomplishments of this student group is the service , rendered each term to the Teacher Schedule Committeee. The school is fortunate, indeed, in having such capable assistants in its office work. Mr. Traina, Miss Curtis, Mr. Seely, Miss Roth, Miss Price, Miss Carlson, Miss Cox, Miss Hart, Miss jinoch, all acknowledge gratefully the help of these students.

i THE LITERARY CLUB The Literary Club was formed by a group of girls who were interested in creative writing. At the first three meetings, poems were read and discussed. Hill Hunger , by joseph Auslander and Old Nurnbergu by Grace Hagard Conkling, were especially well liked. At present, the members of the club are studying a play by Edna St. Vincent Millay, called Aria da Capo . The principal characters are two shepherds, called Corydon and Thyrses, who allow their friendship for each other to be destroyed by petty rivalries and jealousy. The shepherds no longer remember the original cause of their quarrelg but they are so consumed by envy and greed that their viewpoints have become distortedg and they ultimately kill one another. Dying, they realize how foolish they have beeng and they also know that the barriers raised between them were false. The club plans to continue its study of present-day poems, plays, and short stories. President ......... Vice-President . Secretary .......... ..... Treasurer ............ .... . .
